Fremont PSAP board approves Motorola consoles for new police building, allocates $500,000 reserve
Summary
The PSAP board approved a Motorola Solutions proposal for six dispatch consoles and related backroom equipment and voted to use the board's $500,000 equipment reserve to fund the project; 25% of the contract price is due at signing and equipment will ship when the new building is ready.
The Fremont/Dodge County PSAP Governing Board voted Dec. 2 to approve a Motorola Solutions proposal to supply six dispatch consoles and associated backroom equipment for the dispatch center in the new Fremont Police Department building, and to apply $500,000 in board-held equipment reserves to the purchase.
Board materials noted the PSAP is part of the Omaha Area Regional Interoperability Network (ORION) and that current dispatch equipment reached end-of-life in 2023. The Motorola quote includes incentives tied to signing before the end of the calendar year to lock 2025 pricing; staff said equipment will not ship until the new building is ready for installation.
Finance Director Jenn Nabb told the board the equipment reserve balance is $500,000 and that 25% of the Motorola proposal will be required at contract signing, with the remainder due later in the project. Board member Bob Missel moved to use the set-aside funds exclusively for this Motorola project; Blair Horner seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Mark Jensen moved to approve signing the Motorola proposal; Bob Missel seconded. The board voted Aye: Sookram, Horner, Missel, Jensen and Beam; No: None.
Board members characterized the decision as a capital equipment purchase tied to the facility move and did not add new recurring budget commitments during the meeting.
