Interoperability Montana Finance Committee (IMFC)
The Interoperability Montana Finance Committee (IMGC) became a standing committee of the IM Project Directors on June 3, 2008. Prior to this time it was a sub-committee whose members were appointed by the IM Governance Committee on February 5, 2007. It's first meeting was held on March 5, 2007.
This group is investigating continuous funding mechanisms for on-going maintenance, operations and expansion of the IM Project. The group has identified goals, potential revenue sources, and is in the process of developing a comprehensive two-year budget for the project that will cover administration, capital investments and improvements, maintenance and operations, radio repair and replacement, technological advances, and training and exercises.
Membership on this committee consists of representatives from several consortia and state agencies. It meets monthly prior to the Interoperability Montana Project Directors (IMPD) meetings. The committee is chaired by Butte Silver-Bow Sheriff John Walsh, who also serves as Second Vice Chair of the IMPD.
