FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT THE TARRANT COUNTY 9-1-1 BOARD OF MANAGERS
DELAY THE "CUT-OVER" OF THE 9-1-1 EMERGENCY NUMBER SERVICE.
WHEREAS, on April 6, 1985, Fort Worth voters, along with other
Tarrant County voters, approved the creation of the Tarrant County 9-1-1
Emergency Assistance District, with 87 7 percent of Fort Worth voters
voting in the affirmative, and,
WHEREAS, City staff has, while working closely with District
personnel, believed since the inception of this project that all interfaces
necessary to integrate the 9-1-1 system with existing hardware would be in
place prior to the official implementation of the system, and,
WHEREAS, an interface does not currently exist between the two
computer systems and will require additional and inefficient manual call-
processing procedures; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that such an interface prior to
.implementation of the system would be in the best interest of the citizens
of Fort Worth and the credibility of the 9-1-1 system, and,
WHEREAS, an interface product is currently being produced and is
anticipated to arrive in about one week;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Fort Worth City Council
formally request that the Tarrant County 9-1-1 Board of Managers delay "cut
-over" of the 9-1-1 emergency number service until such time that an
interface between the 9-1-1 system and our computer aided dispatch hardware
is established and adequately tested.
