Council approves interagency MOU, 5-year contract renewal to upgrade E-911 system
Summary
Council adopted a memorandum of understanding with Cole County and renewed a five-year contract with Entrado to upgrade the city’s 911 infrastructure to next‑generation capability, funded from the sales tax capital improvements fund.
Jefferson City moved forward June 15 on upgrades to its 911 emergency communications system, approving an interagency memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Cole County and renewing a five-year contract with Entrado for next‑generation 911 capability.
Police and emergency communications staff described the request as an upgrade to the Entrado E911 system (also transcribed variably) and said the project will be funded from the sales tax capital improvements fund. The MOU with Cole County addresses cost-sharing and joint deployment aspects for the E911 upgrade.
Council adopted resolution 2026-08 to authorize the MOU with Cole County and resolution 2026-09 to renew the Entrado contract; a council member noted the funding source was the sales-tax capital improvements fund.
Why it matters: Upgrading 911 infrastructure to next-generation capabilities improves the city’s ability to receive and route emergency calls and supports interoperability with the county.
Next steps: Staff will finalize the MOU and execute the renewed contract, and technical implementation steps will follow procurement and vendor onboarding.
"This would authorize the city to enter into an agreement with Cole County in reference to the cost share for our Entrada 911 system and upgrade to next‑gen 911 capabilities," said the police chief during the council discussion.
