Council hears regional Next Generation 9‑1‑1 briefing; staff to bring resolution supporting fee adjustment
Summary
A council member reported that the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District approved a pilot and negotiated multi‑year pricing for RadiusPlus and 9‑1‑1 AI services, with potential multi‑year costs up to $810,000; the council asked staff to place a local resolution supporting a statewide wireless 9‑1‑1 fee adjustment on a future agenda.
At the March 17 meeting, a council member who serves as a board manager for the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District briefed the council on regional 9‑1‑1 actions taken March 11. "We had a resolution endorsing a contract with RadioDeploy, Incorporated, which is a Motorola Solutions Company, for Radius Plus and associated 9‑1‑1 AI Services," the board manager said, describing a one‑year pilot and negotiated multi‑year pricing.
The presenter told council managers negotiated pricing could be extended for up to four additional years and that the board sought endorsement of a contract "in the amount not to exceed $810,000" if the district continues the service beyond the pilot. The briefing also outlined a request that member jurisdictions consider a resolution supporting a statewide wireless 9‑1‑1 service fee adjustment to create a sustainable funding model for Next Generation 9‑1‑1.
Council asked that staff bring the district resolution to a future council agenda for formal consideration and possible adoption so the city can join a regionally coordinated approach to Next Generation 9‑1‑1 funding and implementation.
