Public Safety Radio Network Communication Contract

Dear Supervisor Nelson, The upcoming discussion on the Public Safety Radio Network Communication Site Construction Contract at the Davidson Library Site, County Project No. PRJ-000641, is crucial for enhancing emergency communications. This agenda item (26-00786) will be reviewed at the Board of Supervisors meeting scheduled for September 1, 2026. It's essential that our local officials understand the importance of ensuring that our community has robust communication systems in place, especially during disasters when timely information can save lives. As a resident of Santa Barbara and a taxpayer, I recognize how vital reliable emergency communication is for our community's safety and resilience. The ability for first responders to communicate effectively can make a significant difference during emergencies, and investing in this infrastructure is an important step towards safeguarding our residents. This project is not just about technology; it's about protecting our families and ensuring that we are prepared for any disaster that may strike. Will you support the recommendations regarding this Public Safety Radio Network Communication Site Construction Contract? It's important for constituents like me to know where you stand on this matter and what actions you plan to take to advance this project. Sincerely, Eric Rosenfeld
