The attached document[1] is adopted as and for Grant County's plan for the installation
of an enhanced 911 emergency number service system.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Grant County E911 Systems Plan is included at the end of this chapter.
The Grant County Board Chairman is hereby authorized
to enter into a contract with service suppliers to have an enhanced
911 emergency number service system installed for Grant County if
the contract meets the approval of the Grant County Law Enforcement
Committee and the Corporation Counsel.
An ordinance seeking approval for the County
to levy a charge on all telephone service users in Grant County to
finance the costs of the system will be submitted to the County Board
at a later date.[1]
[Adopted 3-21-1995 by Ord. No. 31]
A monthly charge shall be levied on all telephone
service users who will have access to the Grant County enhanced 911
system to pay for the recurring and nonrecurring charges incurred
in connection with the installation and operation of the enhanced
911 telephone service. Said monthly charges shall be billed to service
telephone users having access to the Grant County enhanced 911 system
in the monthly telephone bills sent by Farmers Telephone Company,
Cuba City Telephone Company, Dickeyville Telephone Corporation, Grantland
Telecom, GTE-North Inc., PTI Communications, Inc., Richland-Grant
Telephone Cooperative, Inc., and TDS Telecom, Inc., to said telephone
service users in Grant County (and service users located outside of
Grant County who have access to the Grant County enhanced 911 service
system, subject to the approval of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission).
Every service user billed for said enhanced 911 charge shall be liable
for payment of said charge.
The monthly charge to be billed to service users
of Grant County (and service users located outside of Grant County
who have access to the Grant County enhanced 911 service system, subject
to the approval of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission) for an
enhanced 911 system shall be calculated by dividing the costs related
to establishing the enhanced 911 system in Grant County by the total
number of exchange access lines, or their equivalents, which are in
the County and which are capable of accessing that system. Said monthly
charge for recurring and nonrecurring costs of the enhanced 911 system
shall not exceed the limitations contained in § 146.70,
Wis. Stats.
In no event shall any service user be charged
for the costs of the enhanced 911 system until said system is operational.
Any service user outside Grant County boundary
lines who will have access to the Grant County enhanced 911 system
shall also be billed for the recurring and nonrecurring charges incurred
for the Grant County enhanced 911 telephone service system in the
same manner and subject to the same limitations set forth above for
service users located in Grant County, subject to the approval of
the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. If the Wisconsin Public Service
Commission does not approve the charging of service users outside
Grant County boundary lines who will have access to the enhanced 911
system, said service users outside Grant County will not be charged.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Refers to the costs of providing the trunking and central
office equipment used only to operate an enhanced 911 telephone system
established in Grant County and the database used only to operate
the enhanced 911 system.
The costs of services related to the continuing maintenance
and operation of the enhanced 911 system established in Grant County.
Any person who is provided telephone service by one of the
above telecommunications utility companies and which service includes
access to the enhanced 911 telephone service system.
