Patagonia package includes roughly $630,000 for emergency services audit and radio repeaters
Summary
The early-actions agreement funds an independent emergency services audit and replacement of broken radio repeaters (about $630,000) to improve 9-1-1 coverage in the county's eastern area, Robinson said.
Town manager Rodney Robinson told the council the package includes support for an independent emergency services audit and funding to replace broken radio repeaters that currently reduce coverage in the eastern part of Santa Cruz County. "We we get about $630,000 to fund this," Robinson said during the presentation.
Robinson said the work would involve a 9-1-1 contractor to ensure countywide coordination and described the funding as designed to restore reliable EMS and fire communications in underserved areas. Residents asked follow-up questions about helicopter transport and systemwide needs; Robinson said a countywide analysis will define specific service and cost needs.
