ECD Contact Info Needed

Please complete this form and contact Roger Wilson if you have questions.

From Roger Wilson -

I have asked AAND and AL-NENA to post a form on their respective web sites. The form is to get current contact information about your District for the person that handles Operations and Financial. The reason I am asking for both is there are times when a request or communications to your District needs to go to either the person handling operations or financial and in several Districts that is two different people. This information will be shared with AAND, AL-NENA and the Alabama Wireless Board.

2010 Alabama APCO Conference

Area Code Overlay - 256/938

From Sandra Wall - AT&T E911 Service Executive

The existing 256 area code will not change, but a new area code of 938 will be added that will “overlay” the 256 calling area. The introduction of this new overlay area code will make ten-digit dialing necessary for all local calls. The mandatory date for 10-digit dialing begins June 5, 2010. Effective immediately, you may dial using either seven or 10 digits to complete your call.
 
You will need to notify your 911 equipment vendor of the pending area code addition with mandatory local 10-digit dialing. We would urge you to make the necessary local 10-digit changes to accommodate the new NPA as soon as possible. Your speed dial lists within your telephone sets, FAX machines and other ancillary devices must be changed by the mandatory dial date of June 5, 2010, but can be changed now during the permissive dialing period. 

Guidelines for Meeting Minutes

question arises about what was decided or authorized by a governmental body, the answer must
be based on information recorded in the minutes. Because minutes are such an important record
for all governmental agencies, the State and Local Government Records Commissions
recommend that public officials employ the following minimum guidelines. These guidelines are
not intended to change existing practices, so long as those practices result in fully documented

Alabama Next Generation Emergency Network

The Alabama Chapter of NENA (ALNENA) and the Alabama Association of Nine-One-One Districts (AAND) formed a joint Committee tasked with developing a state 9-1-1 plan and submitting a grant request to the DOT/DOC. The plan was drafted and approved and the grant request was submitted by the Alabama Department of Homeland Security since we do not have a state 9-1-1 agency.
