\"It protects our network and, it, filters out malicious emails, and it's a cloud gateway between Clinton County's Gmail and the Gmail web server itself or email server itself. So it sits in the middle. It's kinda like an email cop,\" Sean said.

Sean told commissioners his reports show about 27,758 phishing attempts in a recent month; the vendor also provides configurable reports that he receives weekly. He offered two quotes: a one-year renewal for $10,251.50 and a five-year option for $28,891.70, which he said represented an approximate discount compared with annual renewals. Sean said the county is already using the product and that renewal would continue current protections.

A commissioner suggested testing the vendor for a year before committing to a five-year contract; Sean said he would ask the vendor whether that arrangement is possible. The IT director said the system also supports encrypted email delivery and additional security controls.

Why it matters: County email systems receive large volumes of malicious messages that pose security and operational risks. The IT director characterized the product as an established part of the county's email defense and proposed renewal options for the commissioners' consideration.

The IT director said he will bring a formal recommendation to the commissioners for a future meeting, and staff will follow up with vendor clarification about contract length and trial options.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioners' Work Session - September 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The county's IT director presented renewal quotes for a cloud email security appliance that filters phishing, provides encryption and message tracking.

The application would include projects to remove architectural barriers in the boroughs of Flemington and Mill Hall and would direct the remaining grant funding to the county redevelopment authority for blight-control work, Gibson said. He listed a package of required resolutions that the board will consider before submission: a resolution to apply for 2025 CDBG funds, a fair-housing resolution, a Section 504 compliance officer and grievance-procedure resolution, an appointed-agent resolution naming a regional applicant preparer, an appointed language-access coordinator resolution (normally Beth Witte), and adoption of the CDBG master plan that covers anti-displacement, citizen participation, financial management, minority- and women-owned business elements, procurement, program income, Section 3 and Section 504 notice procedures.

The timeline for the award, Gibson said, is the application deadline in October, followed by review by Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) staff over winter and spring. \"Normally, around April or May, you'll be notified, as long as everything goes well,\" he said, and award letters are typically followed by subrecipient agreements between the county and each municipal or redevelopment authority recipient.

A commissioner asked whether municipalities and the redevelopment authority could expect funds in the same season as award notifications; Gibson reiterated the April–May notification window and said that, if problems appear in an application (for example, floodplain issues), the timeline can slip. No formal votes or approvals on the resolutions were recorded during the work session.

Why it matters: CDBG grants are a common source of federal housing and community development funds deployed at the county level. The package of resolutions Gibson described establishes the county's legal and administrative readiness to apply, names the local implementing agents and lays out procedures required to meet federal program requirements.

The board is expected to place the listed resolutions on its upcoming meeting agenda so the application can be submitted in October; if the county is awarded funds, project-level subrecipient agreements would follow the award notification in spring.","County staff told commissioners they will submit a 2025 Community Development Block Grant application that would fund architectural barrier removal in Flemington and Mill Hall Boroughs and allocate remaining funds to the county redevelopment authority for blight control.

\"We answer it like we do now, but it actually has a back and forth that actually will have someone respond to you about your question,\" Jonathan said, describing the platform's simulated, interactive scenarios. He said the system can emulate callers of different ages, genders and dispositions — including belligerent callers — and that it generates QA feedback at the end of scenarios to show whether dispatchers asked required questions.

Jonathan said staff obtained two pricing numbers: a prorated amount to start Oct. 1 through the end of the year (the transcript records a garbled figure for that prorate), and an annual price of about $5,000 for the next year, which the presenter said would provide unlimited access for training use. He said the county trialed or demoed the product with another 9-1-1 center and found it useful for realistic scenario practice, and he indicated the department has budgeted the funds for the purchase.

A commissioner suggested the platform could be used for public tours or demonstrations to school or community groups without playing real calls; Jonathan agreed the tool could supply \"pretend calls\" for demonstration purposes.

Why it matters: The platform is intended to supplement existing manual and live training for dispatchers by giving staff realistic, repeatable call simulations and automated performance feedback. The department said the system would be used alongside current training programs rather than to replace them.

The presenter said the items will appear on the commissioners' upcoming meeting agenda for formal consideration; no formal purchase action was recorded during the work session.","Emergency services staff described plans to add a simulated AI-driven 9-1-1 training platform to dispatcher training. Staff reported a quoted $5,000 annual cost for unlimited training access next year and said a prorated cost for the remainder of this year was part of the proposal; the exact prorated amount was not specified in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
