Background and Rationale

body

Ramsey County Emergency Communications lease space from the City of Saint Paul Board of Water Commissioners to place an equipment shelter at the Maplewood water tank. The lease for the use of this space is expiring and Emergency Communications needs board approval to enter into a new agreement.

 

Emergency Communications owns, operates, and maintains seven radios sites that support the Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response.
