I spoke with Cliff Layman, the AOC CIO, about this unexpected request. Fe apologized for the late notice but said his department was pushing to get as many VOIP installations funded by ADC completed before July I, 2008. At that time, unless legislative action is taken, counties will be reauired to fully fund all telephone system upgrades based on AOC standards, per a special provision in the state's 2007 budget bill (H1473). Furthermore, counties will be incurring line charges in excess of $3 million annually. NCACC will be working co overturn this special provision- Rebecca Troutman, Intergovernmental Relations Director NCACC 915.-715.4360 To unsubscribe send an unsubscribe messace that says [unsubscribe nclaisal to jhmidler@emaii.unc.edu 0
