04/15/2014 –AI44010-Authorization to enter into contract with Law Firm of Best, Best & Krieger LLP to assist the County as legal counsel with the reconfiguration of the radio system. The FCC mandated the reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band throughout the United States to correct interference caused by commercial wireless cellular systems (such as Sprint/Nextel) and public safety licensees operating in the same band. The costs for the rebanding will be paid in full by Sprint/Nextel.

As an 800 MHz licensee, we are required to comply with the deadline to submit all the required documentation to the FCC and Transition Administrator by September 30, 2013.
