Lake County E911 Authority approves consultant contract for solutions, tariff work
Summary
On Oct. 3 the Lake County E911 Authority approved a roughly $27,390 contract with consultant Jackie for a 10‑month scope of work to support operations, tariff monitoring and PUC-related work; the contract will begin once county contract paperwork is completed and will coordinate with the incoming E911 director.
The Lake County E911 Authority on Oct. 3 approved a contract with consultant Jackie for an E911 solutions scope of work that the authority estimated at $27,390 over about 10 months, billed at $110 per hour.
The contract covers database and tariff work, ongoing EZNET information and tariff amendments, legislative tracking (including prepaid language and state surcharge changes), and general program support. Jackie told the authority she will provide monthly reports and urged the authority to provide telephone remittance statements and contact information so she can monitor line counts and remittances on an ongoing basis.
Why it matters: Jackie’s scope includes monitoring pending rulemaking and PUC processes that affect the authority’s revenue and tariffs; the consultant will also help with outreach to telephone providers and will brief the incoming E911 director on local processes.
The authority’s board voted to approve the scope of work and directed county staff to incorporate the consultant’s information into the county’s standard contract for signature. Board members emphasized that Jackie should coordinate closely with Sarah, the incoming E911 director, once she begins HR onboarding.
Contract details and timing: The consultant estimated about 201 hours of work spread over roughly 10 months at $110 per hour (total $27,390). The authority discussed billing options and favored a monthly invoicing arrangement to smooth budgeting. Staff said the county’s professional‑services budget can cover the consultant’s fees for the remainder of 2025 and that the contracted work was included in the draft 2026 budget.
Administrative next steps: Board members asked county staff to insert the consultant’s scope into the county’s standard contract template and to return a signed contract once the authority’s and county’s review processes are complete. The consultant and staff discussed coordinating the consultant’s start with the incoming director’s onboarding; a specific contract start date was not finalized in the meeting.
Votes at a glance: - Motion: “Approve the E911 Solutions scope of work contract as provided.” (mover/second not recorded in the transcript.) - Outcome: Approved (vote recorded verbally as “All in favor? Aye.”). The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally or named votes.
The authority will revisit contract execution details with county legal and procurement staff and proceed with onboarding coordination for the consultant and the incoming director.
