As a result, the 800 <br />MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System is <br />undergoing a comprehensive upgrade of the system and equipment <br />to modernize the system and to operate a system which will be P25 <br />compliant. <br />D. The upgrade of the system and equipment will be completed by the <br />member agencies, including the City of Santa Ana, by the end of <br />fiscal year 2018. <br />Exhibit 1 Resolution No, 2015 -XXX <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />55A -5 <br />
