STARCOM

• 12/23 - Radio/Microwave/Tower Funding: Kevin stated we have reached the time the microwave radios on the

towers need to be replaced. The radios are 12-13 years old. Nokia reached out to STARS explaining the age of the radios and their replacement being needed. In mid- late November 2023, Madison and St. Clair Counties signed to replace their microwave radios. Seven radios in Monroe County need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $288,000.00 Kevin had a meeting with the ISP 911 Director and learned it is allowed for the 911 board to fund the new radios. Kevin stated he has met with Sheriff Rohlfing and Chief Donjon about replacing the radios. The radio towers are the responsibility of those departments. The quote from Nokia to replace the radios was $288,486.67. Of that total, $86,078.00 is the maintenance contract that the 911 board pays. The remaining balance would be $202,407.85. Kevin recommended the 911 board pay 60% of that amount, which totaled $121,444.00. The remaining balance would be split between MCSD and CPD, with MCSD paying 2/3 and CPD paying 1/3. Lynden Prange stated the replacement radios were needed because the microwave radios are the backbone of the Starcom radio system. Lynden said in 2012, when the current radios were installed, the 911 board paid 70% and MCSD/CPD paid 30%. Lynden asked the 911 board if it should be handled at 70% as it had in the past. Discussion over paying 60 or 70% was held between board members. After discussion, a motion was made by Jeff Prosise for the 911 board to pay 70% of the new Nokia radios. Second to the motion was Marty Seitz.
