Selectman presents Rockingham County dispatch option; no action taken
Summary
Selectman Peter Torosian presented research proposing Atkinson use Rockingham County Dispatch, citing ProSuite software, wider network and an asserted no-cost arrangement; the board did not take formal action.
Selectman Peter Torosian on Jan. 12 presented research that, he said, supports switching Atkinson’s dispatch service to Rockingham County Dispatch. Torosian told the board that the county system is a larger network, runs on ProSuite, is used by 24 of 36 towns in the county, and — according to his summary — would impose no cost on Atkinson.
The presentation was described as research and a proposal; the board did not record a motion or vote to change dispatch services during the meeting. No staff directive or timeline for further study was recorded in the public minutes.
Torosian’s account that the county option would be “no cost to the town” was presented to the board but not verified during the meeting; the claim will require confirmation from county officials or the town administrator before any definitive reporting on costs or contract terms.
The discussion occurred during routine business and did not alter the board’s other agenda items, including forthcoming work on warrant articles for the police station and DPW redevelopment.
