Board approves $4,959 payment for E-911 tower insurance; EMA says radios testing well, tower to be functional soon
Summary
The Board agreed to fund the county's portion of insurance for the new E-911 tower ($4,959.08) after EMA Director Thygesen said EMA would cover utilities and E-911 would cover service contracts; Thygesen reported handheld radios are testing well and the tower should be functional within a month.
EMA Director Thygesen told the Board that he had understood the cost split for the new E-911 tower to be: EMA paying monthly utilities, E-911 covering annual contracts and service agreements, and Audubon County covering the insurance portion. The Board approved funding the E-911 tower insurance in the amount of $4,959.08 (motion Thompson; second Sorensen).
Thygesen said staff have been testing handheld radios and are receiving good signals; he estimated the tower should be fully functional within a month. The approval covers only the insurance portion identified at the meeting; the Board did not amend any other cost-sharing arrangements at this session.
The motion passed unanimously.
