The INDEPENDENT, July 17, 2003 Page 13 Grant for 9-1 -1 improvements Columbia 9-1-1 Communi cations District has been awarded a grant of $89,154 for mobile data backbone equip ment to support public safety services. The data system will provide an alternative to voice commu nications, access to reporting formats, records management systems and local/state/nation- al computer databases - infor mation that area emergency services agencies do not have the ability to convey to a mobile unit at the present time, except through the spoken word. Mo bile data links also provide al ternative communications dur ing major incident overload on a voice system. The project is the second phase of a countywide wireless communications system up grade. Phase one is a mi crowave-supported system that will allow all city and county public safety agencies to com municate with each other. Funding for the first phase, $1.4 million, was secured by Congressman David Wu and Senators Wyden and Smith for the 9-1-1 District. It will be ad ministered by the federal COPS Grant Oversight Pro gram. Installation of Phase 1 is expected to be complete the first week of October. Public safety agencies in Columbia County, with St. He lens Police Department as the grant applicant, are also seek ing grant funds for Phase 3, which is estimated at $253,154. To complete the project, an additional $164,000 will be needed for software licensing, engineering, installation, train ing and implementation. Co lumbia 9-1-1 Communications District has set aside this amount in reserve for Fiscal Year 2003-04. Forest Resources Directory SPECIALIZING IN PRIVATE TIMBER FREE ESTIMATES B anks L umber C o .
