At Your Service A Monthly Bulletin of Community News Clackamas County voters to consider emergency radio system replacement ballot measure in May election Clackamas County voters will consider a ballot measure in May to replace the obsolete emergency radio system used by firefighters, police and other emergency responders. Although the system has worked for more than a decade, manufacturers no longer make key parts. In addition, transmittal towers are not designed to withstand earthquakes predicted for Oregon. Presently, the county’s emergency radio system is outdated and prone to failure. The ballot measure also calls for an appointed citizen oversight committee to review the expenditures, progress and outcomes of the project. This is in addition to existing accountability measures and audits. Here is what the measure will do:  Convert the analog emergency radio system to current digital technology

 

Expand coverage to areas of Clackamas County where none exists

Add in-building coverage, so that emergency radios can function within hospitals, schools, malls and in other public places  Improve reliability during major disasters The project will construct a new open source digital radio system, including a microwave transport system, providing coverage and maintaining interoperability. This will ensure that first responders can consistently receive and reliably send radio communications. The projected tax for these bonds is estimated not to exceed 10 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Typical homeowners with a 2016 average assessed value (not market value) of $262,514 would pay about $26.25 annually, or a little more than $2 per month.
