the Tarrant County 9-1-1 (TC911) Districts 2022 Public Safety Answering Points Assistance Program in the amount of $129,472.00 to reimburse
the Fire Departments expenditures for TC911 Fiscal Year 2022. TC911 District's Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) Assistance Program
was initiated to help ensure emergency response communication units throughout the county are provided up-to-date equipment, operating tools
and training. To receive reimbursement, a PSAP must expend a specified amount of funds in direct support of their emergency response
communication units. Eligible expenses include 9-1-1 related equipment, fumiture, hardware, training, and other items with direct linkages to
emergency response communication efforts. The City of Fort Worth's Fire Department has been receiving annual awards since 2010. For the
2022 PSAP Assistance Program, the Fire Department anticipates using its reimbursement as follows:
Description Amount
Custom Training Console $ 33,597.00

Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program due to the unplanned nature of the project.

Program.
