Request from the Sheriffs Department for Approval of Budget Amendment
#37 to: (1) Transfer $2,850 from Seized Funds for the Purchase of Six Channels for
the 800-mhz Project & (2) Transfer $1,356 for the Purchase of a Video Player to
Replace an Older One: Chief Deputy Rick Dowdle explained the need for these two
purchases from seized funds. He said the video player had special tracking devices to aid in
investigating break-ins at businesses.
Communications Director David Martin said the 800-mhz system had been around
for years, and if the county was interested, it needed to start the application process now.
He said the Town of Mooresville had applied for 6 channels or 12 frequencies. Martin said
the 800-mhz could be integrated into the county's present system.
Charles Tower: Martin said the Charles tower lease discussions with the American
Tower Corporation (ATC) had ended. He said the lease idea had been abandoned due to
the company's costs (site interference study, structural analysis study, insurance, etc.).
Martin said the ATC costs were not feasible, and the county could erect its own self-
supporting tower for $25,000 to $30,000. He said the Harmony Volunteer Fire Department
officials had been approached about erecting a tower at the Olin Station.
