Jerry Zumalt presents County ordinances establishing the emergency communications systems. Advises that there is a major issue with the MSAG (Master Street Address Guide) and E911 systems, due to a request that Intrado had to transfer service in the 935 telephone prefix to Lewis County. Giddings regarding how and why he made the request-prior to enhancement all 935 prefixes were handled by Lewis County-discussion. Sheila Key regarding the problem the transfer caused for MSAG-she has spoken to Intrado about how to correct this. Rockwell questions the cost of transferring everything back-Key explains that there should be no cost-discussion. Trudy Slagle advises that when the request was made, they were unsure that the technology could provide the same timely dispatch to the patrons in that area-they are now confident that the new system can do that quickly and efficiently.
