STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

The purchase of radio repeater equipment supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by increasing portable radio coverage within the regional radio system, ensuring vital communications are not broken between first responders and dispatch centers.

 

REPORT:

The Yuma Regional Communications System (YRCS) has received grant funding from the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, Agreement M23-007, to implement radio repeater equipment that will increase portable radio coverage in areas of Yuma County that have coverage challenges. The proposed equipment will be installed in the eastern portion of the City of San Luis to increase coverage and system capacity at the commercial port of entry, the proposed spaceport, the state prison, and the rapidly developing residential and commercial properties in the area. A second radio repeater is proposed to be installed at Martinez Lake to address radio coverage issues in the area that may impact regional mutual aid response for incidents such as wildland fires.

The one-time purchase of the equipment will use State grant funds. All future maintenance costs will be covered through the YRCS radio user fees paid by all participating agencies.
