Summary

The Public Safety Committee approved a package of routine contract renewals and one recurring annual grant application for the Correctional Work Center and related county services, including contracts with ICS Solutions, Aqua Phase, ATEC Incorporated, Coruscant Fire & Security, and a two‑year TDOT mileage agreement.

The Public Safety Committee on April 27 approved a set of routine contracts and a recurring grant application presented by Correctional Work Center staff.

William Cope and staff summarized the monthly Correctional Work Center and work-release activities and requested authorization to apply for the Tennessee Department of Transportation Highway Beautification Office litter grant, a yearly award the county applies for and has received in prior years. "If awarded this grant, we respectfully ask the county mayor to be authorized to accept it and sign," staff said; the committee approved the request.

Committee members then approved five contract updates and renewals:

- ICS Solutions: staff said the contract was updated to comply with a 2025 FCC rate order; there was no change in county rates and the contract is now compliant. The committee approved the update. - Aqua Phase: annual water-treatment program agreement, no increase; approved. - ATEC Incorporated: third-year full service maintenance agreement with a small monthly increase of $54, budgeted for upcoming fiscal year; approved. - Coruscant Fire & Security: fire‑alarm/backflow/kitchen suppression maintenance with a $227 annual increase; approved. - Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) mileage contract: staff asked to move from a one‑year to a two‑year agreement to simplify annual renewals; committee approved a two‑year arrangement.

All contract renewals and the litter-grant application were approved by roll call. Staff said these were routine renewals reviewed by county legal and chief of staff prior to the meeting.
