Fulton County to replace dispatch clocks, approves regional support contract for 2026
Summary
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told commissioners the county’s dispatch clocks are more than 20 years old and 'in dire need of replacement'; the board approved a $4,940 ComPros quote for two clocks and a fully grant‑funded 2026 regional support contract.
Fulton County Commissioners approved replacement of two aging dispatch clocks and authorized a regional support contract for 2026 after hearing from EMA/911 Director Brian Barton.
Barton told the board the dispatch clocks are more than 20 years old and 'in dire need of replacement.' He also said that 'Pre Alert' is in place and that the information has been distributed to the county’s fire departments. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve a ComPros quote for two dispatch clocks in the amount of $4,940.00, including hardware and installation; the motion passed with all present commissioners voting in favor.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve and execute the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for professional services; the record notes the contract is fully grant funded and the commissioners approved it. The transcript does not specify the grant source, contract value, or the contract's detailed scope.
The replacements and the regional contract are framed by county emergency communications needs; Barton also reported on completed and upcoming trainings for EMA/911. The record does not list specific training dates or grant funding breakdowns.
Next steps: procurement and installation of the new dispatch clocks and execution of the Mission Critical Partners contract as approved by the commissioners.
