EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve budget amendments providing sufficient funding to
operate and maintain the County's Intergovernmental 800 MHz Radio System for
the remainder of Fiscal Year 2009
OBJECTIVE: To provide sufficient funding to operate and maintain the County's
Intergovernmental 800 MHz Radio System for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2009,
CONSIDERATIONS: Since 1993, Collier County has collected a $12,50 surcharge on all
moving traffic violations as authorized by Florida Statute 316,655. This surcharge is the primary
source of revenue for the Intergovernmental Radio Communications Program Fund (188), and is
used for operational expenses of the 800 MHz radio system,
The 800 MHz radio system provides interoperable radio service to thirty-seven (37) public safety
and general government agencies or departments,
From FY 1996 to FY 2005 radio system operation and maintenance was fully funded by
revenue and reserves accumulated during the radio system implementation and warranty phases,
As a result of increased operational costs due to system expansion (additional sites) and inflation,
revenue to the Radio System Fund (188) has been supplemented since FY 2006 by a transfer from
the General Fund,
Throughout FY 2009, collected revenues from moving traffic violations have declined by more than
50% from the prior year, As a result, fund revenues and the current General Fund (001) transfer
are not sufficient to keep the 800 MHz Radio System operating for the remainder of the fiscal year,
FISCAL IMPACT: The associated budget amendments will increase the General Fund (001)
transfer to the Radio System Fund (188) by $300,000, reduce General Fund (001) Reserves for
Contingencies by $300,000, as well as recognize and appropriate an additional $148,300 in
Radio Fund (188) balance carried forward from the prior fiscal year.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item raises no legal issues and is ready for Board action,
This is a regular item requiring simple majority vote. -JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with
this executive summary,
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves budget amendments
increasing the transfer from General Fund (001) to the Radio System Fund (188), reducing
General Fund (001) Reserves, and appropriating Radio Fund (188) balance carried forward
from the prior fiscal year.
