Commission approves Regroup mass‑notification subscription funded in fiscal year budget
Summary
The commission approved a multi‑year subscription agreement for mass notification with Regroup, with the first year at $16,000 and $11,000 annually thereafter; staff said funds are available in the current budget.
Wilson County commissioners approved a subscription agreement with Regroup, a mass‑notification service, after county staff said the cost is budgeted.
During the director’s report, staff described the Regroup subscription as replacing a previous vendor (NetSol) that had increased its price substantially. County staff told commissioners the Regroup contract would cost about $16,000 in the first year and about $11,000 in each subsequent year and that money for the first year is available in the department’s budget. A motion to approve the agreement passed.
Why it matters: mass‑notification systems are used to send public safety alerts and other county notices to residents; staff said the agreement restores a capability previously reduced when the county left the former vendor.
