Agenda • Review of results from PSAP survey and continue discussion on funding approaches for billing agreements in FY 2012 and beyond • (10:00 AM to 11:15 AM) • Update on execution of FY 2011 billing agreements • (11:15 AM to 11:30 AM) • Update on negotiations with Verizon on FY 2010 wireless 9-1-1 services costs • (11:30 AM to 11:45 AM) • Public Comment • (11:45 AM to Noon)
Payment of Agreements in FY 12 and Beyond • Suggestions developed from conference call with current presidents of Virginia chapters of APCO and NENA and statewide PSAP meeting on July 12th: • Local responsibility for procurement and payment • Continue to pay out of 10% Grant Fund • Competitive procurement (not included in survey) • Operating expense that should be fully funded from 60% Operating Fund beginning in FY 2012 • Operating expense that should transition from fully funded from 10% Grant Fund to fully funded from 60% Operating Fund • Split costs between 10% Grant Fund and 60% Operating Fund • Paid prior to 60/30/10 split (requires legislative change) • Survey created by the Executive Boards of the VA chapters of APCO and NENA to gather input from PSAPs on how billing agreements should be funded in FY 2012 and beyond
Survey Questions • Which method of payment do you consider best for the entire PSAP community in Virginia? • If the decision is made to split the costs between the 60% Operating Fund and the 10% Grant Fund, what levels of division do you feel is best? • If the decision is made to move away from payment from the 10% Grant Fund, how would you gradually make this move? • If the decision is made to request a legislative change in the next GA session for payment to come “off the top” of the Wireless Fund, and this does not occur, which option would be best as a “Plan B”? • The previous 5-year agreement with Verizon for wireless 9-1-1 services expired on July 1, 2009 and no payment has been made for FY 2010. VITA is currently negotiating with Verizon to reduce the invoice amount for FY 2010 and have it payable over a 3-year period. If VITA reaches an agreement with Verizon, would you favor VITA making this payment? • And, if you are in favor of VITA making this payment, would you like to see the payment included in the FY 2012 issue and paid from the same source?
