I was made aware of this by a relative: Fredericksburg city staff is recommending that city council approve a plan for its public safety agencies to move from their VHF frequencies onto Stafford County's 700 Mhz P25 trunking system. The cost of equipment is estimated to be $2.75 million, to be spent in FY16. An annual fee would be paid to Stafford. This plan is an alternative to the city purchasing its own radio system in FY18-19, at an estimated cost of over $4 million.
Here is a link to the staff's recommendation: http://va-fredericksburg.civicplus.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Item/2851?fileID=2460
