Fulton County commissioners approved replacement dispatch clocks for the EMA/911 center and authorized a grant‑funded regional support contract after a departmental update at the Dec. 23 meeting.
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told the board the dispatch clocks are "over twenty years old" and recommended replacement. Barton said the county's "Pre Alert" system is in place and that relevant information has been sent to local fire departments. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve and execute a ComPros quote to supply and install two dispatch clocks for $4,940.00; the motion passed with the board responding 'All in favor.'
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann also moved to approve the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for Professional Services, which the board noted is fully grant funded; that motion likewise passed.
