Ratification of the Chairman's Signature on a Memorandum of Understanding for Shared Communications Site

This Memorandum of Understanding provides site sharing with the State in order to do so. There is no financial impact to the county, since the cost of purchasing and mounting the microwave link dish has previously been approved by both the Dispatch Executive Management Board and the Board of County Commissioners.
