PROJECT TITLE: Joint Police/Fire Co,munications System <br /> <br />Revenue Sharing Budget Narrative - Fire <br /> <br />As previously mentioned, the LEAA funds are being devoted exclusively <br />to the development of a master communications system for the respective <br />city police departments, but with design features which can equally bene- <br />fit fire departments. The request for revenue funds focuses on the need <br />of the respective fire departments. The Santa Ana Police Department is in <br />a position to house and maintain the police system but cannot provide the <br />necessary additional space for the fire communication equipment and per- <br />sonnel. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that LEAA funds can be used <br />only for projects having impact on the criminal justice system. The <br />$345,000 revenue sharing budget is to be allocated in the following areas <br />for the following purposes: <br /> <br />Fire Department Radio Equipment <br /> <br />$125,000 <br /> <br />The equipment shall include necessary communication <br />upgrades and enhancements, teleprinters, communi- <br />cation lines, interfaces, terminals and any other <br />equipment deemed necessary to insure compatibility <br />with the "police-fire communications" concept. <br /> <br />Buildin9 Construction or remodeling <br /> <br />$200,000 <br /> <br />This shall include all necessary construction costs <br />pertaining to the remodeling and expansion of the <br />communication center. <br /> <br />Equipment and Furnishings <br /> <br />20,000 <br /> <br />This shall include console modifications, office <br />furnishings, etc., for fire department operations. <br /> <br />All costs are based on the assumption that all dispatch functions will <br />be, or for the most part be, in one physical location. <br /> <br />Costs listed in the Revenue Sharing budget summary are estimates based on <br />readily identifiable current needs. It will be the responsibility of the <br />Advisory Committee, technical staff, and consulting engineer to clearly <br />define all aspects of the proposed system. No portion of the revenue shar- <br />ing funds will be spent for salaries. Funds, separate from the cities' <br />match, will be provided to support the necessary technical staff, i.e., <br />ADP communications specialist. <br /> <br />-7- <br /> <br /> <br />
