County IT reports 5% increase in paging service cost to $2,565 for coming year
Summary
The county’s IT director said the paging portion of the Cisco phone system used for building-wide announcements and alerts will cost $2,565 this year, a 5% increase over last year; no formal procurement action was taken at the work session.
Perique Jackson, Clinton County IT director, told commissioners the county is not replacing the entire phone system but is addressing the paging portion of its Cisco system used for building-wide announcements and emergency alerts.
Jackson said the paging service includes a weather-alert feature and is used frequently by Children and Youth Services and occasionally countywide for drills or incident notifications. He said the vendor’s cost rose 5 percent from last year and that the county’s cost for the service this year will be $2,565.
Commissioners asked how often the paging feature is used; Jackson said he did not have precise usage data and described weather alerts as the most-used feature. No formal procurement action or vote occurred at the work session, and Jackson did not provide contract length or vendor account details in the discussion.
