An excess of revenues over expenditures in 2007-2008 will result in an increase in reserve funds 0
of just over $2,000,000 by the end of the fiscal year September 30, 2008. The first long anticip
upgrade to our ACD sites and installation of our first Next Generation Capable PSAP will
necessitate a reserve fund transfer of $1,394,362, leaving an estimated $14.5 million remaining i
reserve funds at the close of the year. I
The 9-1-1 service itself, being directly impacted by changing technology, has continuously
re-invente• itself, from early enhanced 9-1-1 through the explosive growth of wireless. The Tarrant
County 9-1 -1 District has been able • be on the cutting edge and has invested heavily in meeting
requirements of changing telecommunications. While the existence of 9-1-1 networks that do not
accommodate wireless callers continues nationwide, the Tarrant County 9-1-1 District is part of the
-f,.8% of the country currently providing its PSAP's with location and call-back data from wireless
callers. In 2008, wireless calls accounted for more than 72% of all 9-1-1 calls answered by our
member entities.
Currently, a push is underway among the larger districts in the state to implement "Next
Generation" 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) services, which recognizes the growing number of callers, both
residential and commercial, that have switched their phone service completely to intemet-based
telecommunications services. The first phases of this project, the verification database and
emergency services routing database, are scheduled for completion in FY09.
Limitations of the current network and database platforms were exposed when wireless callers
were added to the 9-1-1 network over the past 15 years. The telecommunications industry (both
wireline and wireless) is moving rapidly from circuit switched technology to Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP). It is widely accepted that the existing 9-1-1 technology based on circuit-switched

A next generation Request for Information (RFI) has been issued by the districts in Texas, acting
jointly as The Texas 9-1 -1 Alliance, and a Request for Proposal (RFP) for services will follow. It is
anticipated that the Next Generation program will not impact the Tarrant County 9-1 -1 District
budget until the 2010-11 fiscal year. It is also anticipated that upgrades to answering center
equipment will not begin following the completion of the current upgrades until the 2010-2011 fiscal
year.

Wireless revenues have experience a healthy increase, and this trend is projected into the future,
even though it is slowing slightly. Whereas wireless surcharges seem relatively new, having been
adopted in 1997, for the past five years they have surpassed landline revenues and the margin
between the two forms • revenue continues • increase.
The Federal Communications Commission has taken an activist approach to voice over net
companies, and has ordered them to be 9-1-1 compatible. The National Emergency Number
Association will continue • monitor events and represent public safety in hearings and meetings
with commissioners, and push for revenue recovery from voice over net companies. How much
and when this recovery might be expected is subject to speculation at this time. In 2006, Vonage
began remitting service fees. Other carriers are expected to begin collecting and remitting fees in
the near future.

The 2002 upgrade program has been completed at all centers with the exception of Arlington and
Fort Worth. The two largest answering points have been deferred pending resolution of operability
issues involving automated call distributor (ACD's). This deferred installation accounts for about
$3,000,000 of the District's reserve fund.
Salary costs for 2007-2008 were lower than budgeted, due to vacancies that have since been filled
d a decrease in health insurance premium.
Anticipated software purchases have again been deferred until software problems are rectified
AT&T or the call center equipment provider. I

District compensation is based upon an eleven-step pay schedule developed and updated through
a compensation consultant. In addition to the compensation "bands" that were originally
developed, the consultant provides an annual recommendation for adjustment to the bands and
overall allowance for merit increases, based upon recent market data.
For the 2008-09 fiscal year, the consultant recommends an adjustment to the pay bands within the
compensation schedule of 2% and an overall allowance for merit raises of 4%.
The District selected Principal as its health benefits provider for the July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009
timeframe. The selection of a plan which changed the Physician Network allows the District to
reduce total premiums by about 3.0%.

The District retains legal services from Jim Hobson of Miller & Van Eaton, Washington, D.C., for
filings and interface with the FCC. Additionally, through our membership in the Texas 9-1-1
Ahiance, the District utilizes the services of Mike Tomsu of Vinson and Elkins, Austin, TX, for
negotiation with service providers, both wireless and landline, and for contractual discussions. T
Districts who are members of the Texas 9-1-1 Alliance share the cost of Richard Muscat for
regulatory representation in Austin. Locally, the firm of Taylor, Olson, Adkins, Sralla, and Elam
provides advisory services to the director and the board. I
The District has also agreed to participate in a program with the Tarrant Appraisal District to
participate in a product called Pictometry, which enhances the capabilities of aerial photography tt
provide a better, more useful product for public safety. The District's portion of the costs for
2008-2009 will be $150,000, and it is included in "Other Services."
The District also purchases data files and comparisons from the telephone company under the
"Other Services" category, as well as consulting services ranging from political advisory services
computer network services.
Expenditures under Utilities, 9-1 -1 Service, include monthly recurring charges for existing customer
eggs premises equipment and services. 9-1-1 Enhancements provides for additional upgrades and
1%
installations to be funded during the 2008-2009 year, and \/Vireless Costs provides funding for
monthly recurring charges for wireless 9-1-1 service from three wireless companies.

The second reserve category is "Reserve for Enhancements," which provides for investment in the
next generation of system improvements. While the cost of the next generation is unknown at this
time, it is essential to the future of 9-1-1 service in the District to prepare for the non-recurring costs
that are likely to begin within the next three to four years. Given completion of the current upgrade
program, the reserves for enhancement should be adequate.
