ANALYSIS
On August 6,2004, the FCC issued Report and Order FCC 04-168 that modified its rules governing
the 800 MHz band to minimize harmful interference to public safety communications systems. On
December 22, 2004, the FCC issued a Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration FCC 04-
294.
Pursuant to the orders, certain licensees of 800 MHz channels used in public safety or other systems
must relinquish their existing channels and relocate their systems to other licensed channels. Also
pursuant to the orders, Nextel must relinquish some of its existing channels and must provide and pay
relocation funds ("Relocation Fundsn) to enable affected licensees to relocate their systems onto
Replacement Channels and reconfigure their systems so that they are "Comparable Facilitiesn. The
table below shows the three channels in the City's 800M Hz Public Safety Communication System that
will be affected by this mandate.

2 860.7875 see I.T. Dept. Voice Control

The FCC has appointed a Transition Administrator ("TAn) to assure that the rebanding initiative
proceeds on schedule and in a planned and coordinated manner so that disruption to a licensee's
system is minimized. In the TA's published "Reconfiguration Handbook,n the two major phases to
accomplish the reconfiguration are described as the "Reconfiguration Planning Phase" and the
"Reconfiguration Implementation Phasen. Motorola will provide both the Reconfiguration Planning
Phase services, and the Reconfiguration Implementation Phase services.
This resolution deals with only the Reconfiguration Planning Phase of the project thereby authorizing
the mayor and city clerk to execute a Reconfiguration Planning Phase Agreement with Motorola for
the reconfiguration of 800 MHz channels used in the City's Public Safety Communications System.
There will be a separate resolution addressing the Reconfiguration Implementation Phase.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Clerk execute a Reconfiguration Planning
Phase Agreement with Motorola for the reconfiguration of 800 MHz channels used in the City's Public
Safety Communications System for the purpose of complying with the Sprint/Nextel rebanding
mandate (FCC order FCC 04-168 dated August 6,2004 that modified its rules governing the 800 MHz
band to minimize harmful interference to public safety communications systems).
