Board approves $75,937 appropriation to complete Vesta E911 phone-system purchase including Motorola cybersecurity requirement
Loading...
Summary
The Board approved appropriating $75,937 to allow the county to sign the Vesta E911 phone-system contract after Motorola advised the county that warranty coverage requires purchase of its cybersecurity software; total project cost $275,403 with a $200,000 grant and $51,534 previously budgeted.
County staff told the Board that the Vesta E911 phone-system project requires Motorola’s cybersecurity software for warranty coverage. The full project cost is $275,403; the county has a $200,000 grant and $51,534 already budgeted, leaving a remaining balance of $24,403. Hathaway recommended appropriating the remaining funds now so the county can sign the contract and proceed.
Board discussion covered timing and whether to move the contract payment out of the FY27 CIP into the current year; Hathaway and staff said they prefer all contract funds be appropriated before signing. On motion by Miss Stewart, the board amended and approved an appropriation totaling $75,937 from the capital fund balance to fund the Vesta E911 phone-system upgrade and associated cybersecurity software.
Miss Watkins recorded the roll-call vote as unanimous in favor (Evelyn, Moyer, Pearson, Stewart and Stiers voting aye). Staff said the funds will let the county sign the contract and proceed with the upgrade, and that expenditures would be aligned with the project schedule.
