but we are still waiting on the FCC and FAA for approval to actually start building. Britt

the Hagerman Channels for Valley Law and Valley Fire the other repeaters would need
to be reutilized for the Digital Radio Project. Tracy Laney stated that we did get a
complaint from RFD about the County North not working at MM 130. We need to check

Non Action Items:
Staffing Report- Tracy Laney stated that since our last meeting we had one of the
applicants withdraw his application. The other two back ground investigations should be
finished by Friday. We are now doing a resource allocation assessment for the city.
Digital Radio Project- Tracy Laney stated that we had a meeting at the S.O. on Friday to
look at priorities for the project. One of the questions we had was whether the 4100's
and 4200's would operate in multi-cast mode, I found out that they can operate in
conventional mode with the cheaper oscillators but they need the more expensive ones
to operate with the controllers in multi-cast. The Hagerman Tower site should be on the
agenda for the August Commission Meeting.
Mike Mathews arrived at 1338 hrs. as the Proxy for Joe Neeb.
Action Item:
Discuss and adopt priorities for the Communications Center and Digital Radio Project::
The Sheriff's Department has the grant money available, so it makes sense to start with
them, each site will need a controller and a GPS Oscillator. Ashley Armijo stated
another issue is that the licensing needs to be fixed because we moved County Fire
North to Capitan and it was never licensed for the Mesa site, it is still licensed for the
SWW tower north on the Ft Sumner highway. Brit Snyder stated that for the digital
Radio Project, if Dexter and Lake Arthur are going to use the Hagerman radio channel
1
for the Valley Law, then that will free up two repeaters to be reutilized elsewhere.
Another issue is that any changes to the radio project needs to go through the PVRCC
Director so that we know when these changes are made. Last week when SVVW moved
County Fire north to the Capitan site, we didn't know about it.
A motion was made by Mike Mathews that we move forward with the radio project with
the Sheriffs Department. Brit Snyder seconded the motion. A voice vote was unanimous
with Dennis Kintigh being absent.
Announcement
Next Meeting 9-5-2018 at 1:30 pm. at the Sheriff's Department.
Adjournment- At 1419 hrs a motion to adjourn was made by Devin Graham and
seconded by Monte Baker.
