CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SERVICING OF A NEW
800 MHz COM94UNICATIONS SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the County of Orange and cities in that County,
including the City of Huntington Beach, have previously entered
into an Agreement for the maintenance and use of the Orange
County Coordinated Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 460 MHz Law
Enforcement Communications System; and
That Communications System is outdated and can no longer
adequately support the critical requirements of the law
enforcement agencies of the County of Orange and cities in the
County; and
That Communications System suffers from severe channel
congestion, does not provide adequate coverage in many areas
and lacks the reliability necessary for a public safety
communications system; and
The Communications System is rapidly approaching the
point where the safety of law enforcement personnel, as well as
the safety of the citizens, will be jeopardized if corrective
action is not taken soon; and
The inclusion of public works agencies in the
Communications System will provide for more efficient use of
the system backbone and for cross communication capability
among law enforcement, fire and public works agencies for
coordination of daily activities such as accidents or hazardous
material incidents and for coordination during major disasters
such as fires, floods and earthquakes; and
1 _ 6031
The County of Orange will be the lead governmental
agency in the implementation of that Communications System;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of
Huntington Beach, California, shall participate in negotiations
for the financing, acquisition, maintenance and use of the
Orange County Coordinated 800 MHz UHF Law Enforcement and
Public Works Radio Communications System; and

and use of the Orange County Coordinated 800 MHz UHF Law
Enforcement and Public Works Radio Communications System.
