we have over 7 thousand users on the network on the radio system it's heavily utilized. it needs to be replaced and we're undergoing the initiative now. the system was put in place in 2007. we put together some initiative estimates and we do estimate this is a large project between 65 and 69 million to put the system in place. and this includes the radios

it's actually most of the of this cost. so what we've done is with this project we've followed the same plan that you use when you major capital development plans in the city and we've asked for the planning money first. as recent as may second point approved planning for the project it was about 8.1 million that will staff two positions in the department of emergency and in the department of technology. we'll have a consultant come on board to behind us with the streaming .

for example, the communications income tax is being put together and the consultant is looking at the public service department can take advantage of this service as well. we're going to start the hiring process as well as start the r s p service to get the consultant on board. so far as the schedule the vendor has given us a schedule will be about the 2018 timeframe. so we're going in the early planning stages it's going to be about a 5 year roll out and

this is huge for us remember last year with the 49ers won the story was huge but cell phones were down radios went down but our counter radio station does have limitations. they can't believe that the range they have in the range and they have ever confidence ourselves will be better like the holy grail. the first thing that goes down is telecom >> and i want to echo the importance of this. i, you know, for our members to keep them as safe as possible

the 9 hundred mega hertz is important >> thank you chief. >> any other comments? we'll keep you updated on our progress. i'm
