BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS  The FY 14-15 Adopted Budget increases by $552,019, or 16.21%. 

The City and County have signed a contract with Motorola to take Technical Services through the next 5 years of P25 migration and expansion. A transfer to the Technical Services Capital Project Fund for $674,926 is included to begin the Migration Assurance Plan (MAP) project. MAP includes core system upgrades, annual maintenance, four new tower sites, a new UHF Paging System for Guilford County Fire, and the conversion of the remaining 14 channels to P25 functionality.  The FY 11-12 budget includes an appropriation of $5.3 million in fund balance to enter into the sole source contract with Motorola for phase 1 of an anticipated 4-5 year phased transition to the new P25 radio platform. It is estimated that the entire project will cost $27.0 million, with the total cost divided evenly between the City and Guilford County.
