Cindy presented a roster of the Colorado 911 Authority boards there were only 51 out of the 64 counties.  If anyone would like a copy contact Cindy Cline or Sharon Clever (Secretary) for a copy.

 

Marion did a recap from the January Meeting.

 

Cindy also advised that through APCO – NENA that the Colorado Chapter is sending out a survey to the 911 Authority Boards, on the survey would have some questions that the State EMD Committee can use.

 

The Complete Survey is not finished. It was decided to have the surveys from each sector sent to Sharon so that a complete one can be presented to Chuck Vale at the April 2nd meeting in Steamboat.    On the Survey we would also show the different businesses that provide EMD training and the cost, time, and all the requirements.

 

Grant Money: It was discussed again to attempt to get Grant monies to help maintain a Database and pay for a person to set up the database and also to schedule classes around the state.  Someone suggested having a class in each region of the state.

The database would consider of all the providers, all instructors, and all training groups.

It was suggested to include a $5.00 charge to help defer the cost for the data base person, i.e. mailings, certificates etc.

Jaci will find out from her retact when the applications have to be in for the grant money.

 

Millie Miller and Jaci Marie Louise both have knowledge and may have the time to do this.

Millie is to retire in May from Longmont and Jaci is to retire end of March from Summit County.

 

It was suggested that we put an article in the APCO – NENA newsletter letting others know when we meet and what exactly the committee is doing. Sharon will put it together deadline is April 25th to be turned to into John or Cindy.

 

Carl will add the dates of the EMD meetings to the COLORADO APCO web site and any classes.

 

It was also discussed to go back to 1996 to put together the database. 1996 is when the State advised of the problem with their main frame loosing our information.  We hope to have that information by May 17th meeting.

 

It was recommended that Mike Merrill be sent an e-mail invitation to the Meeting held in Steamboat on April 2nd. Sharon will send that out.
