Summary

The Board of Commissioners voted to direct the Thayer County Mutual Aid Society to form a committee to plan upgrades to county communications towers and paging with county cost assistance.

The Thayer County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 5 to direct the Thayer County Mutual Aid Society to form a committee to develop a plan to upgrade communications towers and the countywide paging system, with the county assisting in costs.

The action came after Colt Farringer, Thayer County Emergency Manager, led a discussion with the board and members of the Thayer County Mutual Aid Society about countywide communications needs. Commissioner Marlin Bauhard moved to direct the Mutual Aid Society to proceed with forming the committee; Commissioner Rich Koch seconded. The motion carried, with Bauhard and Koch and Chairman Dean Krueger voting yes.

The motion does not specify a timeline, budget, or exact cost-sharing formula; the transcript notes only that the county will assist with costs. No formal procurement or contract was approved at the Feb. 5 meeting.
