Ben Hill County says E911 system to go live sooner after ACCG-backed financing
Summary
County Manager Michael Dinnerman said the county will use ACCG financing for E911 operations equipment, that a consultant helped reduce costs, and that the new E911 system is scheduled to go live earlier than expected.
County Manager Michael Dinnerman told commissioners at the January 24, 2019 workshop that Ben Hill County plans to finance E911 operations equipment through ACCG and that a consultant’s involvement reduced the county's equipment costs.
Dinnerman said the procurement and financing pathway should allow the county’s new E911 system to come online sooner than previously scheduled. The minutes record the county manager’s statement but do not list dollar amounts for the equipment, firm names for the consultant, or a firm go-live date.
The discussion was presented as an update to the board; no formal action or vote is recorded in the workshop minutes. The minutes identify ACCG as the financing mechanism and note the consultant’s role in cost savings.
