Fulton County OKs replacement dispatch clocks, approves grant-funded regional support contract
Summary
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told commissioners the dispatch clocks are over 20 years old and approved replacement and a fully grant-funded regional support contract with Mission Critical Partners; board also authorized training updates and a ComPros installation for $4,940.
Brian Barton, EMA/911 Director, told the Fulton County Board of Commissioners that the dispatch clocks in the emergency communications center are more than 20 years old and "in dire need of replacement." Barton said a system called "Pre Alert" is in place and that the information has been distributed to local fire departments as part of ongoing training efforts.
After the presentation, Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve a ComPros quote for two dispatch clocks including hardware and installation for $4,940.00; the motion passed with all present voting in favor. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann later moved to approve the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for Professional Services; the board recorded that the contract is fully grant funded and approved it unanimously.
Barton provided a brief update on completed and upcoming trainings but the transcript did not include a breakdown of training dates, vendor scopes, or the grant source name beyond the statement that the Mission Critical Partners contract is grant funded. The record shows the county approved procurement and support contracts to update critical dispatch equipment and maintain regional support services.
