Summary

Information Systems presented a Mobile CAD grant application seeking 2% funding from the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians and FY2026 pricing; the committee also authorized MS-ISAC membership at a cooperative rate of $1,995 for 18 months if signed before Sept. 1, 2025.

Information Technology staff told the Chippewa County committee on June 26 that a Mobile CAD (computer-aided dispatch/CAD) grant application is being forwarded seeking 2% funding from the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians to support mobile CAD deployment in the area.

Information Technology Specialist Anthony Zakic presented the application and accompanying FY2026 pricing notices. Agencies were told they must opt in or out in writing by July 31, 2025. The pricing notices listed an hourly first-responder agreement cost of $25.00; Talon Software at $170.00 per user; Success Access at $120.00 per device; Intrusion Protection $100.00 per device; and multi-factor authentication at $75.00 per user. Commissioner Scott Shackleton moved to acknowledge the grant application and pricing and Commissioner Justin Knepper supported the motion; a voice vote carried.

Zakic also briefed the committee on the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS‑ISAC), which is shifting from a free service to a fee-based membership. The county can receive an 18-month cooperative agreement price of $1,995 if it signs before Sept. 1, 2025; otherwise the annual cost would be $3,495. The State of Michigan may cover those costs for local entities, the minutes say. Commissioner Justin Knepper moved and Commissioner Shackleton supported approval and authorization of MS‑ISAC membership; the motion carried by voice vote.

The minutes do not state which agencies have committed to opt in for Mobile CAD or the county's next steps for procurement or contract execution.
