Staff: 'Project 2030' standards driving mapping updates tied to 9-1-1 funding
Summary
County staff said updates are necessary to meet state adoption of 'project 2030' standards; failure to comply could jeopardize state funding for 9-1-1 equipment and routing. Residents asked for written definitions and how the project affects their addresses.
Staff at the meeting linked the mapping updates to a statewide timeline called 'project 2030' and said municipalities that adopt those standards must implement them by the stated timeline. The presenter explained that many states adopt federal standards and that "here in the state of Texas, we call them CSEC," which the presenter described as the regulating government body responsible for giving staff authority to carry out mapping and emergency-services-related actions.
The staffer warned that if the county is not in compliance with the applicable standards, "we do not receive that federal funding or that state funding rather in order for you to have the 911 equipment to get the 911 calls, for those calls to be routed to." Residents pushed back, asking for written materials that define project 2030, its relationship to their council-of-governments (COG), and whether sustainability programs folded them into the project's purview. Staff agreed to provide written definitions and further clarification.
