The minutes from 9-14-09 had a section on interoperable radio communication for all emergency personnel in Monroe County. There was an article on Tuesday discussing how St. Louis County is moving forward with a very similar project.

Please note that while the City of Columbia has pledged to move forward with the county, no one has proposed any tax increases here for the upgrades. The county said they were working on some grants to cover costs.
I am not sure how realistic covering the costs of this system for the entire county is with grants but I do know tax increases were not discussed the meeting I attended back in September. Having this system in place will not only make emergency responders able to communicate better but their service to us and other communities will be improved.
