Committee authorizes staff to package CAD reporting upgrade for Full Board review
Summary
The committee approved making Director Kim Elkie the point person to finalize a CAD integration package — vendor quote $5,340 with an annual subscription option of $3,000 — and to bring a recommendation to the Full Board for potential purchase and countywide implementation.
Chief Rob Edmonds and Deputy Chief Andy Marceau asked the committee to consider integrating CAD reporting software so dispatch data flows into fire and EMS reporting systems.
Emergency Management and E/911 Director Kim Elkie told members she had received a vendor quote of $5,340 for implementation and that the software’s annual subscription is $3,000; she recommended multiple agencies join under a single subscription to avoid paying $3,000 per agency. The committee designated Director Elkie the point person and approved the final packaging and recommendation to the Full Board.
Commissioners did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes for this motion; it was recorded as carried. The minutes note the county’s ambulance millage includes a half-mil allocation for communications-type upgrades, which staff suggested could be an appropriate funding source, but the committee did not specify a final funding decision in the minutes.
