Fulton County approves new dispatch clocks, regional support contract and two-year hazmat agreement
Summary
The Fulton County commissioners approved replacement dispatch clocks, a fully grant-funded regional support contract with Mission Critical Partners, and a two-year Hazmat Team agreement with McCutcheon Enterprises, Inc., with payments of $2,500 for FY2026 and $7,500 for FY2027.
Brian Barton, EMA/911 Director, told the board that county dispatch clocks are more than 20 years old and recommended replacement; he said, "Pre Alert is in place and that the information has been sent out to the fire departments," and also summarized trainings completed and upcoming.
The commissioners approved a ComPros quote to purchase and install two dispatch clocks for $4,940.00, covering hardware and installation. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve the ComPros quote and the motion passed by voice vote.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve and execute the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for Professional Services; minutes record that the contract is fully grant funded and the motion passed by voice vote.
The board also approved a two-year Hazmat Team agreement with McCutcheon Enterprises, Inc., with payment amounts of $2,500 for FY2026 and $7,500 for FY2027. Commissioner Bunch moved to approve the agreement; the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: replacing aging dispatch hardware and funding regional support are intended to maintain emergency communications reliability; the Hazmat agreement secures response capability for hazardous incidents.
Next steps: Procurement and installation of the dispatch clocks and execution of the approved contracts; EMA/911 will continue scheduled trainings and coordinate with local fire departments.
