Mr. Meiszer stated they were received on 3une 23, 1980 and the County requested a 30 day extension which would expire on August 23, 1980, to review the proposal further. Mr. Bookman stated he was concerned that only one bid had been received. It was explained that only one bid in such circumstances is not unusual Chief Pittman stated that the new communications system would relieve many of the inadequacies and deficiencies of the current system. He stated there is no back-up system if the current system malfullctions: the wen weather affects signals which current use telephone lines to the transmitter; that the new system would be microwave; that there is only one available operational frequency ag this time; the new system will eliminate the need for dispatchers to handle routine tasks such ss maintaininG the status of the units, etc. which will be handled a~to~tically; when interference occurs in the radios now. the unit is uuidentifiable. Me stated that with the new system and the new center, the working conditions would he better and more efficient. Chief Eanes stated than currently on the Fire eor~nunications system there are two fire channels and one channel for the four county rescue squads. He stated only one channel transmits or receives at a time for the Fire Department. Me stated that the new system would greatly reduce the dispatch time of emergenc.y vehicles, that the status of units will be automatically maintained, that the downtime will not occur with the back-up sysnem, etc. He s~ated that approximately 12~ firefigh~ers and the same a~ount of police officers took time [o observe the display at the Airport by Motorola which he felt indicated their interest in the new system. Mr. Daniel inquired if both Chief Eanes and Chief Pittman were in total support of the proposed system. Chief Eanes and Chief Pittm~n stated they were in total support and endorsed the proposal. Mr. A. G Slate, representative of Motorola, was present. He stated that this system will replace.what the County currently has, that there are provisions being made to upgrade the system co include other departments such as Utilities Engineering, etc.; that the dispatchers will be able to have more than one channel available aE any one time ego. He stated that with equipment as complex as this specifications could not be drawn unless s eonsultant did so and then there would be variances because of the nature and complexity of the equipment. He stated that Motorola had designed the system, would manufacture the equipment, would install and maintain it. ~r Bookman inquired if Motorola designed the equipment which was installed in 1976. Mr. Slate stated they did not. He stated that the Fire Department has Motorola equipment which they purchased piece by piece but a system was not desig~ned and that the Police Departmenthas a combination of equipment from various manufacturers. Ne stated that Motorola will be willing to exchange unit for unit some of the police radios if not transferred to other County departments. 80-379 ry Mr. mcr Hodge stmtad that Motorola had presented two options-- one in the amount of $1,708,789.83 and the other for $1,913,199.83 He stated that by reducing the number of MODAT units in the vehicles, reducing the financing rate, and the use of the County computer the cost had been reduced to $1,516,521.53. He stated that for the balance of this fiscal year, no funds would be needed. Mr. Daniel inquired if this had been planned for in future budgets. Mr. Hodge stated it had for three years. Mr. Bookman inquired what the long range impact would be. Mr. Hodge stated it would impaet the budget of each of the next six years in the amount of $278,779 which is approximately $28,000 per year over what was anticipated. Mr. Bookman stated he thought the system was fine and acceptable hut stated he felt a vote on more than a million dollar project today was too much to be expected without additional input. Mr. O'Neill stated he was aware of this, that 44 years ago a consultant was hired to design a system which was never installed. He stated he felt this system was needed, that a delay would be foolish as well as costly. Mr. Hodge stated that he would be looking for bids for the financing which would reduce the cost as he indicated previously. There was considerable discussion regarding the installation of the 911 emergency number. Mr. Meiszer stated that the 911 number was not part of this proposal from Motorola but would be a part of the communications system when installed by C & P Telephone Company. He added that the Board had authorized the bids to be received, the staff has reviewed the proposal in detail. Mrs. Girone stated that she believed staff had reviewed this proposal in depth, but indicated she was always responsible to the citizens for a~y decision she might make. Mr. Meiszer stated this would be a lease/purchase for the equipment, that the major impact will be the way it is operated, that there will be changes in operations and he will be discussing these changes with the Board as they occur. He stated that a demonstration of the 911 system would be arranged to answer any questions regarding its operation. Mr. Daniel stated that the Board should be concerned when discussing funds of this magnitude but that it is not unconnnon to find only one bid for complex equipment such as this. He stated he felt the proposal was good. Mr. Meiszer stated that Motorola will have full esponszbzlity for the entire system. Mr. Slate stated that was correct, that they have designed the system, will build, install and maintain it. After further discussion of the matter, it was on motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mrs. Gir0ne, that the County Administrato~ is authorized to accept Motorola's proposal as modified in a total amount of $1,516,521 of which $1,338,322 wilt be leased, that the staff and County Administrator are authorized to finalize the contract, that the County Administrator is authorized to execute the contract, and that staff obtain leases at the best interest rate which lease period will be seven years and the County Administrator is authorized to execute any necessary documents for the leases.

He stated in conjunction with the grant the Board had appointed the Ettriek Citizens Advisory Cormnittee to work with staff and he introduced Mr. William Hawkins, Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Hawkins introduced Mrs. James Via who was also present representing the Cor~nittee. He stated that the Ettriek Action Program and Action Plan addressed transportation problems, housing, utilities, drainage, con~nunity image, communzty service, recreation and land use in that order of priority. He stated that their goal was to have the community remain one in which they could take pride. He stated that staff had been extremely cooperative and helpful in this matter. Ms. Grasewicz stated that the transportation problem involved the small streets in the area, the parking by students attending Virginia State University, the intersection of Chesterfield ,Avenue, River Road, East River Road and Laurel and the deterioratidg : pavement. She stated the housing problems involved property maintenance, student housing and the fraternities/sororities moving into residential areas. She stated they were looking towards zoning regulations and improved County procedures to help eliminate this problem. She stated the utilities problem involved the deteriorating and small lines. She stated that the funds received thus far had only replaced about half of what was needed and they would be looking towards another grant to finish the project. She stated the drainage problems were mainly in two areas--east of Chesterfield Avenue and north of River Road. She stated the community image dealt mainly with litter and the entrances to the c0~munity for whioh they were considering a clean up campaign and historic markers to improve these problems. She stated the comunity service involved the Ettrick Fire Station which needs repair and expansion and the Mental Health Center which is not well known. She stated the recreation aspect would be to improve the Ettrick Elementary School playground for the younger residents as the intersection at the Ettriek Park limits the age of children allowed to play there. She stated that the residents are concerned about the land use, specifically, the development of Chesterfield Avenue which is basically residential but zoned business. She stated they would like to have development guides in the area so that change would be orderly. She stated these were the plans and recon~nendations of the Co~nittee. Mr. O'Neill stated that he was concerned about the development along Chesterfield Avenue. Mr. Zook stated the staff could develop policies ~or fu~ure development, the Planning Commission and the Board of upervlsors could approve it and development review staff would apply the policies to the development of the area when variances to zoning requirements are applied for. Mrs. Girone inquired if it were right to leave this up to the Board of Zoning Appeals to plan for the area or the private sector. Mr. Zook stated he was not suggesting changing zoning, but just setting a guideline to be follOwed and used when the matter needs to be addressed. He stated that something of this nature might be needed for this transitional area along Chesterfield Avenue. He stated some of the lots would not meet the requirements which are needed and this would provide for consistent buffers, or parking, etc. in the area. Mrs. Girone inquired if this would be restricting someone's use of their land. Mr. Muzzy stated he felt this would be a help as it would be a guide by which to develop the area. Mr. O'Neill stated that all of the property owners may not know of this particular proposal. Mrs. Girone inquired if the property owners were aware of this matter. Mr. Hawkins stated he felt a large portion of the community did, but maybe not all. ~r. Zook introduced Mr. Leon Crawley, also a member of the $on~ittee who was present. 80-386 13. I. 98% responded. Mr. O'Neill stated the citizens have been dedicated in trying to improve the area but it takes time. Mrs. Girone stated that she felt other conmmanities were interested in this type of planning and development of certain areas and that perhaps this type of thing should be addressed County wide. Mr. O'Neill stated that this type of planning is okay but everyone should have the right to ask for what they want. Mrs. Girone inquired if the residents of Ettrick were aware this was a federally funded program. Mr. Hawkins stated that most people in the area did know of this. After further discussion of the matter, it was on motion of Mr. O'Neill, seconded by Mr. Bookman, resolved that the following resolution be adopted: Whereas, in 1978 Chesterfield County received a Community Development Block Grant for the Ettrick Cormmunity; and Whereas, in conjunction with the grant, the Board of Supervisors authorized a community planning effort for the Ettriek Conmmnity; and Whereas, the Board has received and duly considered the Ettrick Community Action Program and the Ettrick Community Action Plan.
