Town told transition to state 911 radio system will take more than a year
Summary
Officials said the town’s upgrade to the state 911 radio system will be a process of a year or longer, with the state likely assuming control of towers and the town eventually moving onto the state system; staff will provide further numbers to chiefs and administrators within 30 days.
Public-safety infrastructure was discussed when officials updated the board on plans to transition to the state 911 radio system.
Speaker 3 said the process would take "a year plus," and that the state will probably take over radio towers as the town migrates to the state system. Speaker 3 said staff would be meeting with chiefs and administrators and expected to provide additional budget or equipment numbers within about 30 days.
No formal commitment of funds or schedule beyond the general timeline was recorded in the transcript. The discussion framed the change as a multi-step process involving coordination with state authorities and local chiefs.
