Public Safety Responder agency type Fees. over the prior three (3) years. A similar formula was utilized by the Study in determining the initial Cost per Dispatch values outlined in Section A of this Exhibit C. These figures will be used to provide an example of how the formula will function: As of the date of the execution of this Agreement: a. The FCC Annual Report to Congress on State Collection and Distribution of 9-1-1 Fees identified the cost per call for North Carolina to be $11.83. b. The amount of calls each Party received over the prior three years, when taken together, increased by 14%.

These response factor percentages were then applied to the $13.48. $13.48 multiplied by 60% results in a value of $21.56, which is the final Cost per Dispatch for Police calls. Similarly, $13.48 multiplied by 15% results in a value of $15.50, which is the final Cost per Dispatch for Fire calls. For the purposes of this Agreement, the response factor percentages will be determined from ...
