applicants to demonstrate that they have an interoperability plan utilizing the Department of Homeland
Security guidelines and each applicant must certify that its request improves the ability to communicate
with neighboring jurisdictions. All approved expenses must facilitate regional communications
interoperability.
Staff submitted a reimbursement application for the Fiscal Year 2016 Tarrant County 9-1-1 Radio
Assistance Program which was approved by the District's Board of Managers on June 20, 2016, as being
in accordance with the program. Staff submitted the final reimbursement documentation and the District
will be releasing the reimbursement funds to the City. Upon receipt, Staff recommends these funds be
received in the programmable Public Safety IT Improvements Project of the IT Capital Projects Fund to
pay for the public safety improvements and General Debt Service Fund to pay for the 2012 Certificates of
Obligation we issued for the 9-1-1 consoles. The 9-1-1 tower debt is currently serviced by the Crime
Control and Prevention District for public safety use and the General Debt Service Fund for general
