County to approve US Digital dispatch service agreement contingent on contract and funding
Summary
Scott Ford of Ohio Township Fire Department urged approval of a US Digital maintenance/service agreement for the county's 911 dispatch system; commissioners approved a motion to accept the contract contingent on final contract form and available funding.
Ohio Township Fire Chief Scott Ford told commissioners the county uses US Digital to dispatch emergency services and that continuity of service requires an annual service agreement. He said the agreement helps dispatchers troubleshoot and restore service quickly and noted an understanding that certain annual fees had been assumed in the system's original adoption.
Commissioners discussed funding sources (911 fees) and the need to review the county's form of service contract; the board approved a motion to accept the contract contingent on the finalized contract document and available 911 funding. Commissioners directed staff to circulate the contract form for approval and to confirm funding availability before payment or ratification.
