		<description><![CDATA[The system is still broken but they don&#039;t want to discuss it as it will put the purchasers in bad political light.  They told the officers not to discuss it as a security issue.  They often have to rely on cell phones to make contact with officers.  They will seek thousands of tax dollars to try to fix a &quot;busted&quot; system.  This was a political move orchestrated by the Sheriff.  

The city is spending about $5000,000 a year to pay rent on a system they will never own and don&#039;t need.  They need to go back to a UHF or VHF trunking system but don&#039;t want to admit a mistake.  I don&#039;t know where the local news media is on this story.  No official will admit problems.  In an FOIA request, the 911 Director stated he does not keep records of the system failure or when dispatchers need to resort to cell-phone communications.  The 911 Board is seeking additional taxes from the phone lines to pay for this overly costly operation which is broken and poorly managed without detailed record keeping of system down conditions.  Perhaps you want to revisit this story.]]></description>
