By signing the 800 MHz funding agreement, we are committing to participate on the PSC and pay our portion of the Consultant cost within 45 days of the signing of the agreement. BACKGROUND: The PSC is a sub-committee of the Regional Executive Policy Committee. The PSC members are representatives of agencies that are contributing money to fund the Consultant's study and the proposed development of a regional next generation emergency communications system to include, if possible, voice and data. One person representing each funding agency is tasked with participating in the review of the Consultant's proposed scope of work and the subsequent deliverables and recommendations. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Port contribution of $20,000 is to be funded from the POSPD drug seizure fund. These monies must be expended for unbudgeted public safety purposes. This is a one-time contribution toward the cost of a consultant to draft a regional plan. Several other government entities, including the Washington State Patrol, King County, Snohomish County, and the City of Tacoma are contributing various amounts toward the total project cost of approximately 1.1 million dollars. These amounts are stipulated on page 4 in the IA.
