Commissioners review E911 database maintenance scope and discuss appointing a coordinator
Summary
County staff reviewed the proposed scope of work for E911 database maintenance under a state interlocal grant and discussed appointing a database maintenance coordinator; commissioners did not record a final appointment during the meeting.
Freestone County officials reviewed a scope of work and interlocal agreement for E911 database maintenance services covering the 2025–2027 biennium and discussed appointing a database maintenance coordinator as required by the Commission on State Emergency Communications.
Staff indicated the scope of work outlines county responsibilities in exchange for funding through regional planning councils and the Commission on State Emergency Communications. The document referenced in the packet names Christine Hill in connection with the scope, and staff said the county currently reports issues to the vendor or regional coordinator, which then handles updates or problem resolution.
Why it matters: Accurate E911 database maintenance is necessary for proper emergency-dispatch routing, location accuracy and eligibility for state funding tied to database maintenance obligations.
Discussion and next steps: Commissioners asked who the appointed database maintenance coordinator would be; staff noted the sheriff's office and Christine Hill could coordinate and that the county needs to appoint a county employee to fulfill the responsibilities. No final appointment was recorded in the transcript; staff said the sheriff and relevant personnel would confer and clarify the county’s coordinator role.
