Currently there is no records <br />management sharing system for fire departments within the county, a problem that would <br />be addressed through this project. <br />Mr. Palumbo noted the collaborative work of the joint law enforcement council over the <br />past forty plus years. He explained collaboration that occurs through the communications <br />center operation that the county runs. The joint council has worked to coordinate records <br />systems, training and investigation work throughout the county. The joint council is <br />seeking a resolution of support for the funding mechanism that Anoka County and the <br />joint council would put forth to fund this project. The proposal is to amend the current <br />800 mhz funding authority to sell bonds for this effort; the 800 mhz funding would be <br />complete when this comes forward and this effort would be less costly. He noted several <br />state legislators that have signed onto the bill in a bipartisan effort to accomplish the <br />funding proposed. <br />The council viewed a seven minute video explaining the project. <br />P14 <br />
