County administrator raises $427,000 in outstanding 911/IT bills as Central Square CAD implementation advances
Summary
Warrick County administrators told the council that outstanding 911 and IT contract invoices total roughly $427,147; staff reported Central Square CAD/RMS training is underway with a go-live window mentioned in discussion (both Dec. 2 and Jan. 2 were referenced).
County Administrator Debbie Bennett Steers told the Warrick County Council that multiple outstanding 911 and contract-service invoices total roughly $427,147.12 and asked the council to approve payments from the 911 fund's contract-services line.
Steers walked the council through a vendor list that included Central Square (the county's new CAD/RMS vendor), US Digital and an AT&T lease. She said staff are in training and described a training schedule; references in the meeting noted a planned go-live window for the countywide CAD system (Central Square) with staff comments referencing both Dec. 2 and Jan. 2 in the discussion.
"I have typed on that last page a list of the bills that are outstanding...and total the outstanding to be $427,147.12," Steers said. The council approved payments to cover the listed contract services.
What was decided: The council approved moving forward to pay outstanding 911-related contract invoices from the 911 fund. Administrators cautioned the fund will be tight next year and urged careful monitoring.
Why it matters: Implementing a new Computer-Aided Dispatch/Records Management System affects countywide dispatch, EMS and police agencies; the outstanding contract total represents a significant near-term expense for the county's public-safety fund. The transcript contains differing references to the CAD go-live date; staff should be asked to confirm the final go-live date in writing.
