Board approves $22,761.57 to maintain existing 9-1-1 support during radio transition
Summary
Supervisors authorized a payment of $22,761.57 to maintain support for the county's current 9-1-1 system while the county transitions to a new radio/dispatch platform, citing timing overlap between systems.
The Nottoway County Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of $22,761.57 to maintain support and maintenance for the county—s existing 9-1-1 system while the county prepares to migrate to a new dispatch platform.
County staff explained that the existing system—s five-year support term had ended and that, because the new system rollout remains in progress, the county needed to extend maintenance coverage to avoid service gaps during the transition. The expenditure was described as a timing issue to ensure continuous 9-1-1 operations.
The motion to approve the amount was made and seconded; the board approved the measure by voice vote. Supervisors noted the payment was short-term and necessary to keep the current system supported until the new platform is fully in service.
County staff indicated the funds would likely be drawn from the 9-1-1 or contingency portion of the budget and that the new system vendor implementation schedule would determine the precise length of the maintenance extension.
