Commissioners discuss disposition of legacy AVTECH consoles; motion made to donate to Williston
Summary
The board was asked how to dispose of legacy AVTECH dispatch consoles slated for replacement; staff recommended donation to local agencies because resale value is limited, and a motion was made to donate the consoles to the City of Williston.
The board heard a presentation from a public-safety representative about AVTECH dispatch consoles that will be replaced when the P25 radio system goes online. The presenter said consoles will be taken out of service likely in April and asked for direction on whether to donate, sell at a discount or otherwise dispose of them.
A commissioner moved to donate the consoles to the City of Williston; other commissioners raised fairness to other towns and noted limited resale demand. One commissioner said he had spoken with the chiefs of Chiefland and Cedar Key and that both supported Williston receiving the consoles if the county did not split them. The board discussed options and the practical benefit of enhancing local dispatch capability by gifting the consoles to a municipal department.
A motion to donate to the City of Williston was made from the floor; further action and final disposition will be recorded in subsequent minutes.
