PSAP board approves replacement of malfunctioning Xybix dispatch desk
Summary
The Fremont/Dodge County PSAP Governing Board unanimously approved replacing a 12-year-old Xybix 24/7 dispatch desk after troubleshooting found the desk motors irreparable; the board said available capital funds will cover the purchase, which will be sole-source to allow reuse of parts.
The Fremont/Dodge County PSAP Governing Board voted unanimously July 8 to replace a 12-year-old Xybix 24/7 ergonomic dispatch desk after its motors failed and could not be repaired. Bob Missel moved to accept a quote from Xybix; Mark Jensen seconded the motion, and the board recorded a 5-0 vote in favor.
According to the board minutes, IT staff and a Xybix technician spent several hours troubleshooting the desk but were unable to restore motor function; the desk is stuck in a single position and cannot be adjusted for different users. Board members and Communications Director Shelly Holzerland said there are sufficient funds in capital budget lines for projects that will not be completed this year, and the purchase will be made sole-source so Xybix can reuse a large portion of the existing desk to reduce costs. The minutes did not specify the final dollar amount for the replacement.
The board treated the item as a formal procurement motion and approved the replacement to maintain an accessible, adjustable workstation at the 24/7 dispatch position. The minutes do not list a delivery schedule or contract number; staff will proceed with the vendor quote as approved.
