Guidance on Emergency Communication Grants
• Grant Funding Update
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 10
SAFECOMhttp://www.safecomprogram.gov/SAFECOM/grant/default.htm
• The purpose of the FY 2011 SAFECOM Guidance is to provide guidance to grantees on:
– Emergency communications activities that can be funded through Federal grants
– Technical standards that facilitate interoperability
– Recommendations for planning, coordinating, and implementing emergency communications projects
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 11
SAFECOM: http://www.safecomprogram.gov/SAFECOM/grant/default.htm
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 12
2011 SAFECOM Guidance
• Narrowband Mandate
– “In the FY 2011 SAFECOM Guidance, grantees are encouraged to allocate grant funds to plan and implement activities that will ensure compliance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) narrowband mandate by the January 1, 2013, deadline.” (pg 4)
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 13
2011 SAFECOM Guidance
• Consider Regional, Multi-Jurisdictional, Multi-Disciplinary Projects– Improve emergency communications across jurisdictions (e.g.,
across States, counties) – Enables communication across jurisdictions, between disciplines,
and among all levels of government – Expands coverage to unserved or underserved areas within or
beyond a region – Links disparate systems – Connects local systems and responders to regional or statewide
systems
“Regional projects (intra-State and/or inter-State projects that include more than one jurisdiction) should promote wide area interoperability and not create new barriers between responders inside and outside of the region. For example, grant funding should not advance a “proprietary-based project” when an equivalent “open standards” solution exists”
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 14
2011 SAFECOM Guidance
• Consider Broadband and Emerging Technologies– Grantees should consider investments in broadband
planning and technologies* in order to continue to move their jurisdiction toward greater interoperability nationwide
*The FCC has advised grantees to ensure that investments in wireless broadband networks are compliant with 3 GPP-Release 8 of the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard, and have required grantees to provide information on how the investment will achieve interoperability with other public safety networks, including a statement on whether the interface is compliant with 3 GPP-Release 8 of the LTE standard.
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 15
2011 SAFECOM Guidance
• Eligible Activities:– Planning– Training– Exercises– Equipment
• Conversion to Narrowband Equipment– Replacing non-narrowband compliant equipment – Acquiring/upgrading additional tower sites needed to comply with
narrowband conversion – Reprogramming existing equipment to comply with narrowband
conversion
Authorized Equipment List (AEL):https://www.rkb.us/mel.cfm?subtypeid=549
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 16
SAFECOM Summary
• Acknowledges Narrowbanding Deadline
• Encouraging funding agencies to “allocate grant funds” to narrowbanding projects
• Focus on regional interoperability projects
• Standard based & emerging technology solutions

FUNDING YOUR LMR SYSTEM
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 27
Funding your LMR System
• Developing sound funding sources for a Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system can be daunting. When approaching how to fund your LMR system, it’s most effective when it encompasses the entire life cycle of LMR.
• There are three main phases: – Planning & Development– Procurement & Installation– Operations & Maintenance
• Each phase has a different funding profile or requirement.

Funding Strategies
– PROS: • No tax increases• Funds can co directly to
Public Safety Communications
• Excluded from budget review
– Cons:• There are intense
competition for funds• They are not evenly
distributed• May not provide adequate
revenue
• Planning and Design Phase – Existing financial resources (CapEx/OpEx accounts)

Watonga, OK and purchase of portable radiosFeb 2011: The city approved the expenditure of $3,848 from the Drug Seizure Account to purchase portable radios for the Police Department.
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 31
Funding Strategies
• Installation and Procurement Phase – The Federal government can leverage
• Annual appropriations• Federal exercise tax• Spectrum lease fees
– The State & Local governments can• Issue bonds• Impose right-of-way fees• Utility tax/ surcharge fees
April 22, 2011: Lapeer County, MI “The county approved the issuance of Capital Improvement Bonds in an amount not to exceed $14,475,000 for the purpose ofoutdated analog radio equipment for Police, Fire and EMS with updated digital radio equipment and other equipment necessary for the 911 Central Dispatch System to effectively provide and ensure 24x7 public safety communications service for citizens”
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 32
Funding Strategies
• Operations and Maintenance Phase– Federal, State and Local governments can
• Use existing financial resources• Tower Leasing• Impact Fees• User Fees
Although cities nationwide are implementing nonresident emergency services fees, at least 10 states have outlawed them.
States forbidding the fee include: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Tennessee
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 33
Funding Strategies
• Grant Pros– Flexibility to create
programs– Advances policy goals– Encourages
coordination
• Grant Cons– Highly competitive with
no guarantee of award– Have administrative
reporting requirements – May require matching
funds– May have political
hurtles
• Federal/State Grants
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 34
Funding Strategies
• When deploying a LMR systems focus on a multi-jurisdictional approach.
• WHY?– Allows leveraging economies of scale to reduce the cost to each participant.– Shared systems are developed as planned implementations– Management & control similar to other multi-agency or regional govt services– Costs can be equal share or prorated by relative population size, tax base,
geographic area or number of users– Implementation financing based on proportional population or a percentage
of system infrastructure dedicated to each agency– Operational & Maintenance financing based on number of users, numbers of
pieces of equipment, or actual system usage (airtime) – Federal grants require a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency approach
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 35
Funding Strategies Conclusion
• It’s important to ensure fiscal requirements and sources for the life cycle of the system.
• No matter what combination of funding sources, each agency must develop funding strategies that provide sufficient revenue to support each life cycle stage.
• Key stakeholders – senior level government officials, budget directors, political representatives, and the public – need to be involved – especially when the funding strategy is developed.
• The ability to secure funding to finance projects of this magnitude is one of the greatest challenges facing Public Safety agencies
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 36
Traditional Sources of Financing
• Grant Funding
• Bond issuance
• Extended Payment Terms during implementation
• Line up payment terms with Funding Stream
• Time Phased Implementation aligned with Funding
• Lease program (including tax exempt)
• Public Private Partnerships
Harris: How to Fund Your LMR System 37
Payment Terms & Financing Solutions
• Hurdles you may be facing:
– Partial Funding
– Budgetary Restraints
– Bonding Thresholds
• Aligning your Project Needs with available Funding
