Commission tables $11,000 increase request for radio system installation pending more information
Summary
A request to increase a line item by $11,000 to cover software interface and installation for a new radio system was set aside for further information; commissioners questioned whether costs were included in the vendor contract.
County staff reported a request from the communications officer for an $11,000 increase in the communications budget to cover toner/printer needs and a substantial software interface and installation cost for a new radio system. Commissioners asked whether the work and software were included in the Motorola (radio vendor) contract and pressed for clarification of the $15,000 “other equipment” line cited in the packet.
Staff said the increase was primarily for new software to interface with the Tacken system and to track radio components and repairs; the communications officer had described it as including installation and setup. Commissioners asked to defer action until the county could confirm whether that interface work is part of the existing vendor contract and to obtain more detail on the “other equipment” line.
County staff agreed to check the contract and follow up; the item was deferred for additional information rather than being voted on or approved.
No formal roll‑call was recorded; the chair and staff characterized the item as set aside pending further details from the communications officer and the vendor.
