At 7:30 P.M., Chairman Simmons stated that this was the date and time scheduled for a public hearing to consider the adoption of an ordinance to impose a monthly 911 charge upon telephone subscribers in Cabarrus County for the implementation of the Enhanced 911 (E-911) Emergency Telephone System. He asked if anyone were present who wished to speak for or against the implementation of the E-911 telephone system or the adoption of the ordinance imposing a telephone subscriber fee to pay for the service. Chief Robert Cansler of the Concord Police Department presented a resolution adopted by the Concord Board of Aldermen in support of the E-911 Emergency Telephone System and the imposition of the telephone subscriber fee. Reverend Perry Miller of the Rocky Ridge United Methodist Church spoke in support of the E-911 service and addressed the importance of such a system to the elderly and the children in the county. Ms. Debbie Bost of the Rimertown/Rockwell area, which is served by the Alltel Telephone Company, complained of long distance charges to call schools, doctors, etc. located in Cabarrus County. She questioned the collection of her monthly E-911 subscriber fee from Alltel. In response to her questions, Mr. Alan Goodman of the Concord Telephone Company advised Ms. Bost that she would not be billed for the 911 service as she had previously paid for the service in Rowan County. Sheriff Robert Canaday spoke in support of the E-911 Telephone Service. He noted that the subscriber fee would be 26 cents per month for the first year to pay for non-recurring costs and would increase to a fee of 40 cents per month on July 1, 1992. There was no one else present to speak regarding the proposed E-911 telephone service, and Chairman Simmons closed the public hearing.
