Board members discussed a request from Motorola Solutions for a 20–30 minute presentation about radio‑system modernization and whether the county should consider a bond to fund system upgrades.

A supervisor said the outreach "came from Fran Cueva, and they serve as the area sales manager for Motorola Solutions," and read the request that Motorola would "like an opportunity to present a brief overview of our portfolio and our approach to accounting wide system modernizations." The supervisor said Motorola suggested 20–30 minutes at an upcoming work session or dedicated meeting time.

Supervisors raised several questions on the record: the cost of radios, whether in‑state service contractors exist to maintain equipment, and how maintenance contracts would work across jurisdictions if the county adopted equipment used by the state. One supervisor said he initially thought the outreach was a scam given the volume of unsolicited contacts, then acknowledged it warranted due diligence: "I think, you know, an effort to do our due diligence to the taxpayers before we take out that massive bond and we're gonna hear them out."

The board did not take action to commit to a purchase or bond. Instead, supervisors discussed having two board members speak with Motorola by phone or meet early next week to evaluate whether to schedule the vendor for a future work session.

Why it matters: A county‑wide radio modernization and any related bond would carry capital costs and ongoing maintenance obligations; questions about local service availability and contract structure affect long‑term operations and taxpayer cost.

What happened: Supervisors agreed to either arrange a short meeting between two members and the vendor or schedule a brief presentation at an upcoming work session; no procurement or funding decisions were made at the meeting.
