The new purchase is necessary due to <br />the FCC removal of the 800 frequency that we previously used. This <br />change resulted in a loss of service. We were relocated by Mid States <br />Wireless, the current provider, to the Fargo city tower, which is 120 feet <br />shorter that the previously used Moorhead tower. Due to the tower change, <br />we now have an approximate 40% reduction in communication coverage in <br />the county. This has left the current system nonfunctional for our <br />transportation and communication needs. This change was not anticipated <br />and was not placed in the current budget. We will cover the cost with other <br />budget line items. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO APPROVE <br />THE PURCHASE OF A UHF TRUNKING RADIO SYSTEM FOR THE <br />CASS COUNTY WEED AND VECTOR CONTROL <br /> <br /> 1201 West Main Avenue <br /> P.O.
