REQUESTING THE STATE TO FUND COSTS OF THE 911
EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SYSTEM
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. le q 7,S:-requesting the State of California to replace the
funds borrowed and all interest accruing since 1979 from the Emergency Telephone
Users Tax account. The resolution also requests the State of California to pay
for all costs incurred for the addition of the Automatic Location Indicator
(ALI).
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The State of California, in order to balance its budget, has borrowed funds from
the Emergency Telephone Users Tax account. These monies are monies that were
collected for the special purpose of paying for 911 systems state-wide. Due to
criteria the State set several years ago as to what costs would be pc1id for by
State, coupled with more monies collected than anticipated, excess funds were
realized.
The State chose not to change its criteria as to what i5 to be paid for by the
special funds, but inst~ad borrcwed them. This move reduces the eventual JiOS5ibilty
for cities and counties to add more sophisticated technology to the system unless
they pay for them as an extra cost. The money was intended to pay for tbe 911
system, not to finance othe~ portiJns of the State budget. Therefore, if additional
funds are realized, the excess monies should go into paying for those times to
make the 911 system more effective.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact at this time, but if the State adopted the proposal, an
additional enhancement to our emergency capability estimated at $2000 to $300n could
be realized at no cost to the City.
