FROM: Jason Woodruff
Deputy Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022 -07, Grant application for the purchase of a NG9 -1 -1 Logging
Recorder
DATE: April 29, 2022
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso Communications Center takes emergency 911 calls for the citizens of
Owasso, a population of 38,240 who reside in both Rogers and Tulsa Counties, and dispatch for
Owasso Police, Fire, and Medical. The Owasso Communications serves as a backup center for
the City of Collinsville, and Rogers County dispatch centers. Owasso's current 911 Logging
Recorder was purchased over 10 years ago and is no longer being manufactured, so parts are
obsolete. A new 911 compliant logging recorder is estimated to cost approximately $52,000.00.
Staff is proposing to apply for a grant to purchase a new 911 compliant logging recorder,
through the State of Oklahoma 911 Management Authority, which will support current and new
technologies as they are implemented. By law, 911 centers must record all incoming 911 calls,
no matter how they are received. This grant, if approved, will allow Owasso to comply with
current state and federal statutes and mandates.
The grant would fund 80% of the estimated $52,000.00 project, with a 20% local match of
approximately $10,400.00. The application for the grant requires a resolution stating that the City
will provide the 20% matching funds. If the grant is approved, the contract will be brought back
to City Council for consideration and action in July 2022.
After the initial purchase, Owasso will have a maintenance contract with the vendor which will
cover regular testing, software updates, and technical support. The annual maintenance fee for
the current recorder is $4,308.00 and is being paid out of the General Fund.
FUNDING:
Funding is available in the E -911 Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2022 -07.
