Board approves $1.42 million 911 contract, boat-safety grant and donation for jail fitness equipment
Summary
Anoka County approved a five-year 9-1-1 technology contract with Invictus Apps Inc. (Prepared) not to exceed $1,422,035, accepted a $28,519 boat and water safety grant, and accepted a $1,600 donation for jail workout-facility improvements.
The Anoka County Board on May 27 approved three public-safety items on the committee consent slate: a $1.42 million 9-1-1 contract, a state boat-safety grant and a small dedicated donation for jail fitness improvements.
Commissioner Brasstead reported the Public Safety committee recommended three consent items. The board approved Resolution 2025-PS09 accepting a $1,600 donation from the Anoka County Scribe Prevention Coalition to improve workout facilities at the jail and sheriff’s campus.
The county also accepted the State of Minnesota annual county boat and water safety grant for 2025. Contract C0011541 provides up to $28,519 for the term Jan. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, to support sheriff’s office water-safety operations.
The largest item was a technology services contract with Invictus Apps Inc., doing business as Prepared, for 9-1-1 center services. The five-year contract (07/01/2025–06/30/2030) carries a not-to-exceed amount of $1,422,035 and will be paid from the county’s 9-1-1 funds. Commissioner Brasstead told the board the longer five-year term will save the county more than $200,000 versus shorter options.
The three items were moved and approved on a roll-call vote; commissioners voiced appreciation for the grant support and the cost savings negotiated in the 9-1-1 contract.
