Good catch. I am thinking it is probably a backup system. IMHO it is unlikely they would be going back to VHF. But I suppose anything is possible.

13) Communication Services Agreement (CSA) for Phase 2 (Atlas System) - Terry Burnworth & Todd
Durnil, Pyramid - Approval was given a couple of months ago to begin negotiations with
Motorola Solutions. They had to meet three requirements. They only met one. The technology
board looked at scores again and saw that the J & K Communications, which is the Atlas system,
was actually a better score. This was approved by the technology and 911 boards. Mr.
Burnworth requested approval from the Commissioners to enter into negotiations with them.
“We will not return until next month with the CSA. The CSA will only be approved pending
funding. Commissioner Burton made a motion to approve the negations with J & K. Seconded
with support by Commissioner Mowery; motion carried.
14) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for SE and SW Tower Sites, Phase-2 - Terry Burnworth &
Todd Durnil, Pyramid -Communication systems have to be IP based first. There are two sites.
The SE tower site is at the Ballinger’s golf course and was approved last week by the BZA.
Approval was given to run fiber to the new site. There are three towers and the backbone is a
microwave system. The County Attorney has already reviewed these MOU’s. Even after
approval, there is still 4 to 6 months of permitting processes. Commissioner Mowery asked if
this was the only place they can put the tower to be considerate to the residents in that area.
Mr. Burnworth stated that this happens to be a high elevation and that the broadband provider
could get the fiber to the site. With a true IP based system, it will be a backhaul system. Pyramid
looked at other locations but all locations/properties have to meet all of the requirements and
that would be part of a compromise. Commissioner Mowery recognized the need for the towers
and their function to central dispatch but stated that he cannot be in favor of the placement of
the tower site with the reason being that he believes there are other locations for the tower
that will give everyone what they want. Mr. Burnworth stated that they can relook at the SE
tower site and search for a different location. Upland is the ideal location for the tower. The SW
tower location at the old Liberty School site still needs approval from the BZA. As of now, there
has been no objection for the SW site. Commissioner Mowery made a motion to table the SE
tower for now and to revisit it at the October 5th meeting and approve the SW tower pending
the BZA. Seconded with support by Commissioner Burton; motion carried.

Seems like J&K is really pushing these individual county systems. While I can understand it from a business standpoint, is it really the best thing for interoperability given that the IPSC system is pretty much the standard-bearer? At least its P25 and not NXDN or IDAS...
