The funding wo uld be used for the East Bay Regional Communications System, which will be a
state of the art P25 compliant communications system for the public agencies within Contra
Costa and Alameda counties, We are requesting S3 million in Federal funds to assist with the
development of three additional sites that will be a critical link between the two counties.
When complete the system will have 32 repeater sites -- equipment for 10 of the sites has
already been purchased and is in the process of installation ..
