Claire Hathaway and other board members reported that the trench for the tower’s power/backhaul conduit has been refilled. State-supplied DTR (digital trunking radio) equipment has been ordered and was expected to be delivered to the state shop in Golden; staff did not have a firm date for when equipment would arrive locally. County staff said the state is coordinating connections that also require Grand Junction equipment to be complete.

Hathaway said backhaul scheduling had repeatedly been rescheduled and that Lumen was tentatively scheduled to be on-site for backhaul on Aug. 7. Staff warned that timing has shifted previously and that final operational readiness depends on state and vendor deliveries.

The board also discussed who would bear costs for filling the trench. The contractor who filled the trench submitted a $1,500 bill; Hathaway said she had expected public works to handle the fill and asked county management to clarify responsibility for that invoice.

Ending: With the trench refilled, the board said it will continue to monitor delivery of DTR equipment and the scheduled Lumen backhaul on Aug. 7. Staff will follow up with county public works and the county manager on the $1,500 trench bill and report back to the board.

","The board heard that the trench for a new radio tower and generator has been filled, a Lumen backhaul date was set for Aug. 7 and state DTR equipment has been ordered, though delivery timing remains uncertain.

Paula, a dispatch staff member, reported that the county’s wireless positioning feed (referred to in the meeting as “WPH2”) is not populating addresses correctly in the CAD and that Motorola—vendor for the county’s CAD and console systems—has escalated the issue. “It’s bigger than what even Motorola thought,” she said, adding that the center is relying on RapidSOS as a supplemental source for caller location but that RapidSOS is a free third-party service the county does not pay for.

Paula said Motorola will do a deeper investigation and that a senior Motorola technician (Telly) was scheduled to visit the center the following Wednesday. She asked the board to be patient because the problem requires coordination among multiple vendors and carriers.

On a positive note for field connectivity, Claire Hathaway said OEM obtained a Starlink system through a Homeland Security grant. The unit is staged at the county annex and includes a small battery generator with solar panels. Board discussion captured the grant details: the package includes 12 months of “roam unlimited” service that can be used over multiple months until the total 12 months are consumed; the county has until 2027 to use those months. Reimbursement arrangements were discussed for event use; the monthly service cost is $1.65 and the board asked that private events reimburse the county if the county turns on the Starlink specifically for a private event.

Training and quality assurance also drew extended discussion. Board members and the candidate, Nick Huffman, described methods used elsewhere to standardize training: call reference guides, a phased CTO training model, Virtual Academy and Frontline CTO modules, and automated QA tools. Claire and Huffman discussed using AI-driven QA (“Com’s coach” demo mentioned) that can listen for call elements and produce QA flags; board members said the potential vendor pricing was approximately $20,000 a year for automated QA and training aids if the board chose to pursue that technology.

Staff also reported on routine operational matters including monthly EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch) simulations and the need to clarify IPAWS/Everbridge authorization and SOPs for public alerts.

Ending: Staff asked for support to pursue vendor troubleshooting, consider Starlink deployment policies for county events, and continue investment in training programs and QA tools. The board and staff agreed to return to these items in future meetings as part of the part-time director and project-management discussions.

Huffman, who described himself as the communications manager reporting to his sheriff at Chaffey County, said he could begin data collection and planning immediately but recommended a practical start date of Sept. 1 to avoid the busiest summer operational period. He offered a monthly-hours approach rather than a strict weekly schedule: “an absolute minimum of 30 hours per month and a maximum of 80 hours per month,” he said, to allow flexibility if his primary duties required extra time.

Board members said the temporary appointment would give the authority a focused, experienced person to advance a number of outstanding projects. Claire Hathaway, Lake County emergency manager director, described the board as a “working managing board” that needs additional hands to move training, recruitment, policy and technical projects forward.

Huffman told the board he has roughly 12 years in dispatch and has led modernization and training efforts in small, rural centers. He said he could help rebuild call reference guides, strengthen training and CTO (call taker/telecommunicator) processes, and assist with next-generation and QA (quality assurance) implementations.

Board members and staff discussed classification and duration. Lake County staff said county HR has a temporary classification that caps at five months; the board said it would likely post a temporary part-time position to allow overlap and an orderly handoff if a permanent hire is later found. Hathaway said that approach would align with county policy while allowing a trial period for a part-time arrangement.

The discussion closed with agreement to pursue the temporary classification and to continue detailed discussions about scope and start date with Huffman. The board indicated it could consider a decision on authorization in August if quotes and details about equipment upgrades (discussed elsewhere in the meeting) were available.

Ending: The board did not make a hiring decision at the July meeting but signaled support for pursuing a temporary part-time director. If the board moves forward, it expects an overlap period for handoff to a later full-time hire and to coordinate with county HR on classification and pay.

","The Lake County E-911 Authority board discussed hiring a temporary, part-time director and interviewed Nick Huffman, a communications manager from Chaffey County, who proposed a September start and a monthly-hours model for a short-term appointment to help with training, policy and project work.","actionData","errors"]
