STAFF REPORT Public Safety Director Lagerbloom • October 1, 2008 is our cut over date with the City of Alpharetta as relates to our dispatch and 911 agreement. • We are still on track. • We anticipate the cut over will occur between 2 and 3 o'clock the afternoon of the 30'h • We had to move it up because AT&T has some sophisticated but quick programming that has to occur in the 911 system and they do not have technicians there at midnight to do the programming. pow • Dealing with the Police and Fire respectively; the police with transition over to be on the same dispatch channel as the Alpharetta Police are on so we will hear the radio traffic that occurs adjacent to us. • It will be nice to actually hear some things that are going on even if it is as close as the other side of Windward Parkway.

PM • We have a message created and it will be ready tomorrow morning. • It details what a subscriber needs to do and how the need to do it and what center they need to notify. • We will reach out to our apartment complexes with that information. boo• We will reach out to the elementary and middle schools with hopes we can send notes home to the parents. • We will take an add in the Herald which will cost $151.00 and that is money well spent in this circumstance. • We will post on the web site and through our e -blast. • He wants to flood the information and hope we have sent it in enough directions that those that need to know about it will grasp it. • It is incumbent on us to do nothing but he does not think that is a good answer. • We are not at any risk or assume any liability if we do absolutely nothing but he is just not comfortable with that so we elected to take these steps. • At this point everything looks good. Mayor Lockwood: • Asked if it would affect residential or if it was mainly business. Public Safety Director Lagerbloom: • Both are subscribers. ADJOURNMENT Motion and Vote: Councilmember Tart moved to adjourn the Special Called Meeting. Councilmember Hewitt seconded the motion. There was no Council discussion. The motion passed unanimously.
