Fulton County approves replacement of 20-year-old dispatch clocks, grant-funded support contract and 2-year hazmat agreement
Summary
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton told commissioners the dispatch clocks were 'over twenty years old' and the county approved ComPros' quote for two replacement clocks ($4,940), a fully grant-funded 2026 Mission Critical Partners regional support contract, and a two-year hazmat agreement with McCUTCHEON Enterprises, Inc. ($2,500 FY2026; $7,500 FY2027).
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 23 approved several public-safety contracts after hearing from EMA/911 Director Brian Barton.
Barton told the board that the dispatch clocks were "over twenty years old and are in dire need of replacement." Commissioners voted to approve a ComPros quote for two dispatch clocks, including hardware and installation, for $4,940.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the 2026 Mission Critical Partners Regional Support Contract for professional services; Barton told the board the contract is fully grant funded and the motion passed unanimously among those present. The board also approved a two-year Hazmat Team agreement with McCUTCHEON Enterprises, Inc., with payments of $2,500 for fiscal year 2026 and $7,500 for fiscal year 2027.
Barton additionally reported that the "Pre Alert" system is in place and that information had been sent to local fire departments, and he reviewed completed and upcoming trainings for EMA/911 staff. The approvals are intended to update aging emergency equipment and to secure outside technical and hazmat support through the coming year.
Next steps: county officials will coordinate installation of the dispatch clocks and administer the grant-funded regional support contract and hazmat agreement through the EMA office.
