CONDITIONAL
City Manager Glaves advised the Council that 911 Emer-
APPROVAL OF 911
gency Telephone legislation was originally signed into law
TELEPHONE SYSTEM
in 1972 as AB 515. The bill required all cities, counties
FINAL PLAN
and emergency service districts in California to prepare
and establish 911 emergency telephone systems by 1982.
RES. NO. 79-45
In 1976, the Legislature enacted AB 416 to provide financ-
ing for 911 systems from revenues generated by a one-half
percent (0.5%) surcharge on intrastate telephone service,
effective July 1, 1977. Additionally, the 911 final plan
filing and implementation dates were extended to July 1,
1978 and December 31, 1984 respectively. Lodi, one of
four PSAP's (Public Safety Answering Point) to be located
in San Joaquin County, submitted a 911 Incremental Cost
Summary on September 25, 1978. The grand total for the
first year was estimated at $454,986 if implemented in
78(79 and projections to over $682,478 if implementation
were in 1984.
The 911 Emergency Telephone System legislation was
initially supported by cities and counties on the basis that
the costs would be FULLY financed by the telephone sur-
charge tax revenues, however, revised estimate s.indicate
that the telephone surcharge will be inadequate to properly
fund a statewide telephone system.. Additionally, the State
Guidelines Manual reports that the schedule for reimburse-
ments of incremental costs will be subject to the availability
of funds.
Council discussion followed with questions regarding the
matter being directed to Staff.
On motion of ivlayor Pro Tempore Katnich, Pinkerton :
second, Council adopted Resolution No. 79-45 approving
the 911 Emergency Telephone System Final Plan subject
to the condition that corrective legislation be enacted by
