Commission approves AT&T fiber conversion for 911 telecoms, cites cost savings
Summary
The board approved a telecommunications agreement to replace legacy copper 911 lines with fiber through AT&T, with staff estimating monthly savings of over $10,000 and annual savings around $120,000.
Commissioners approved a telecommunications services agreement with AT&T to convert the county’s 911 telecommunications from copper to fiber. Staff told the board this change reduces the monthly bill from roughly $11,000 to about $798, yielding more than $10,000 in monthly savings and approximately $120,000 annually.
The item had been tabled at a prior meeting pending cost‑savings confirmation; staff said the vendor’s written communication confirming the savings was included in the meeting packet. A motion to approve the agreement was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
What’s next: Staff will proceed with contract execution and schedule the transition in coordination with the E‑911 operations team.
