Committee approves UPS batteries, snowmobile purchase, 5‑year fire system service contract and software replacement

The committee approved several procurement and service motions affecting public safety and county operations and deferred one item to January.

JP1: The committee authorized the purchase of replacement batteries from Eaton Corporation for the uninterruptible power supply at the primary 9‑1‑1 center. The motion was moved and seconded and passed on a voice vote; the chair said, “JP 1 is carried.” Funding source for JP1 was not specified in the transcript.

DP3: Members considered a request from the sheriff to purchase a 2026 Ski‑Doo snowmobile. Committee discussion confirmed the item is a replacement and that the sheriff would use drug‑seizure funds for the purchase. The motion was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.

JP Ford (Johnson Controls): The committee authorized the chair of the Cayuga County Legislature and the sheriff to enter a five‑year contract with Johnson Controls for preventative maintenance, testing and service of the Public Safety Building fire control system. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

PW1 (Nova Solutions): Public works brought PW1 to purchase Nova Solutions software to replace an unsupported public program; the purchase was budgeted in the 2026 budget. The motion passed on a voice vote; the transcript records at least one dissenting comment (‘Harry’), but a full roll‑call tally was not recorded in the transcript.

JP2: Committee members agreed JP2 was not ready and should be added to the January agenda; the matter was tabled.

The motions were routine procurement and maintenance items intended to support public‑safety operations and county IT and facilities functions. The transcript does not include complete roll‑call tallies for the recorded votes; where funding sources were stated in discussion, they are noted above.
