to allow the hunting of the water fowl.

74-493 ADOPT RESOLUTION 74-54. REGARDING PROJECT DESIGNATED REGION C. COMMUNICATIONS STUDY
Howard Casagrande, planning director of CCCJ, spoke to the Board concerning
the upgrading of the law enforcement radio communications system for Butte County
and the future acco~odationof 911 operations. Mr. R. W. Johnson, consultant,
was also present to respond to inquiries regarding this project. Mr. Casagrande
requested that the County of Butte be legal applicant for the study. The last
time he appeared he did not have the cost figures or the proposed consultant
that would be doing the study. He presented the Board with a breakdown of the
Page 396.
April 2, 1974
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ April 2,=1474 = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
costs.
Mr. Casagrande stated that there was a meeting yesterday in his office
of 12 administrative people of Emergency Services. They discussed the
direction that Butte County has been going. Mr. Casagrande introduced Mr. Johnson
at this point.
Mr. Johnson stated that the basic premise.' of this is to be a communication
study of the four counties (Butte, Plumas, Colusa and Clen). Mr. 3ohnson said
that copies of the proposal have been given to the Board members. This
plan would modernize and update the County's communication system. Most of
the present equipment is old and~ibsolete. They will look at this equipment and
will recommend the upgrading that rs needed. Mr. Johnson stated that the
study will mainly concern the radio communications system, but they will
also consider a 911 tail-in station. He said he would recommend the Board
reading:
"911-The Emergency Telephone No. A Handbook for Community Planning"
For sale by Superintendent of Documents
U.S. Gov't. Printing Office
Wasla_~gton H.C. 20402
Price.:-$1.35 Stock No. 2205-0003
Mr. Johnson stated that some of the counties have the 911 systems in
operation. Butte County is in an excellent position here to establish this
type system. He explained the concept of 911, explaining the frequency that
would be involved. They have established fixed frequencies for these
emergency medical problems. He said there were several ways that the 911
system could be handled.
Time spent discussing the study and what was proposed to be done.
Mr. Geier stated that there was a movement underway in Chico
operating under the premises to get an emergency system that would be fox
the Chico-Oroville areas. He is concerned with whether the system could be
adopted to other emergency numbers.
Mr. Casagrande stated that the 911 was going to be a telephone
answering service and it will in turn transfer the emergency call to the
proper agency. He urged the Board to adopt the resolution that could be
attached to the application for the grant.
On motion of Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor Gilman and
unanimously carried, Resolution 74-54 regarding project designated Region C,
Communications study was adopted and the Chairman was authorized to sign.
