Discussion:  The Portsmouth Department of Information Technology was awarded a grant totaling $428,737.63 from the Virginia 9-1-1 Service Board through the NG9-1-1 funding program.  The grant will be used to provide funding for the capital technology improvements and recurring monthly service expenditures necessary to upgrade the City of Portsmouth’s 9-1-1 system to meet the NENA i3 standard. Financial Impact:  There is no cash or in-kind match requirement for this grant. Recommended Action:  Adoption of the ordinance. Next Steps Following Council Action:  The Finance Department will make the necessary budget adjustment.
