Arnold, <br /> Lancaster, McFarland, Purdy, Quandt, Schuppan and Ziola all voted yes and none voted no. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Emergency Management Director Jon Rosenlund was present and stated that in May they <br /> received a letter from Charter that they would not be paying the E 911 fees to Hali County <br /> because of a concem that VOIT telephone customers did not have to pay the surcharge. <br /> Discussion was held on the type of exchanges and if the surcharge should be paid. <br /> Mr. Zitterkopf stated that this is not a new surcharge and in fact in July of 2002 a resolution was <br /> passed that is very similar to the one today but it addressed landlines. As phone service <br /> became more wireless the statutes were changed 2007. This resolution reflects statute change. <br /> The state keeps the wireless surcharge. Mr. Rosenlund stated that there are state statutes and <br /> local resolution that address the surcharges. <br /> Mr. Arnold stated that the old statutes described the telephone exchanges and they were <br /> changed to address the cell phones. It is important that VOIT should be included in the <br /> resolution so they can eliminate any argument of a loop hole. This needs to be done because <br /> Charter is holding 3 months of revenue. <br /> Ziola made a motion and Quandt seconded to close the public hearing.
