Fulton County approves replacement of two dispatch clocks, backs grant-funded regional support contract
Summary
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told commissioners the dispatch clocks were over 20 years old; the board approved a ComPros quote for two clocks and a fully grant-funded Mission Critical Partners regional support contract.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 23 approved replacing two dispatch clocks and executing a regional support contract for mission-critical services after hearing an update from EMA/911 Director Brian Barton.
Barton told the board the dispatch clocks used in dispatch operations are more than two decades old and "in dire need of replacement." He also said "Pre Alert" procedures have been implemented and that information has been distributed to local fire departments.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve a ComPros quote for two dispatch clocks, including hardware and installation, for $4,940.00; the minutes record the motion as passing 'All in favor.' Commissioner Hervey P. Hann then moved to approve and execute the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for Professional Services, which Barton said is fully grant funded; that motion also passed unanimously among those present.
The minutes do not list further technical specifications for the clocks or the grant funding source; the board approved the expenditures and the contract during the meeting.
