Summary
County officials approved a five-year contract with Motorola for an emergency notification system, citing console integration and an activation window of about two weeks; billing was noted to begin Feb. 15 and the quoted five-year cost was discussed as roughly $33,700.
County meeting attendees approved a five-year emergency-notification contract with Motorola after staff said the system integrates with existing dispatch consoles and would be ready to activate within about two weeks.
Unidentified Speaker 3 presented the quote and said the Motorola product integrates with current consoles and “it all kind of meshes together good,” and added that the vendor would not start billing until Feb. 15. The speaker also said activation would take “about 2 weeks to activate.”
The issue drew brief procedural discussion about payment timing and whether annual payments should be split among participating entities. Unidentified Speaker 4 moved to sign the contract; Tom (speaker 1) seconded the motion and commissioners approved it by unanimous voice vote. Meeting discussion referenced a five-year payment plan and a figure stated in the meeting as about $33,700 for the multi-year arrangement.
County staff said they would finalize contract signatures and handle coordination with other participating agencies. No statute, ordinance or funding source was named during the discussion.
The board took no further public comment on the contract and moved on to other agenda items.
