St. Clair County 9-1-1 board approves bid process for backup dispatch generator and renews subscription
Summary
The county's 9-1-1 communications board voted to solicit bids for a backup generator for the dispatch center, including a gas meter installation, and approved renewal of a shared batch tax subscription for $2,430 pending attorney review.
The St. Clair County 9-1-1 communications board voted to let bids for a backup generator for the county dispatch system and approved renewing a shared batch tax subscription.
Board members discussed that the generator would serve as backup for dispatch operations and that a natural-gas meter will be installed; staff said the meter may also serve auxiliary heaters in the building. The board agreed to put the project out to bid and noted the county will wait two more weeks before advertising the bid. The motion to let bids passed by voice vote.
The board also voted to renew a batch tax subscription in the amount of $2,430; staff said the subscription is shared by 9-1-1, EMA and the sheriff. The subscription renewal was approved pending review by the county attorney.
Both actions were taken during a brief 9-1-1 board session called at the start of the commission meeting. No roll-call vote counts were provided in the transcript; minutes record that both motions passed by voice vote.
