Dodge County approves three-year Regroup mass-notification agreement effective Sept. 1
Summary
The board authorized a three-year service agreement with Regroup Mass Warning Notification System and authorized Emergency Manager Tom Smith to sign; Smith said the three-year cost is about equal to one year with the county's current vendor and the contract begins Sept. 1, 2026.
The Dodge County Board unanimously approved a service agreement with Regroup for mass warning and notification on June 24 and authorized Emergency Manager Tom Smith to sign the agreement.
Tom Smith told the board that Dodge County's contract with the county's current vendor, Everbridge, ends in September 2026. Smith said he, 911 Director Shelly Holzerland and Dispatch Supervisor Jamie Carlson evaluated options and chose Regroup; he reported a three-year Regroup agreement would cost about what one year of service with Everbridge would cost. The Regroup contract is effective Sept. 1, 2026.
The board's action authorizes the county to implement the new platform to deliver emergency notifications; the minutes do not record a line-item dollar amount for the contract in the meeting text. Emergency Management and 911 staff are listed in the minutes as participants in the vendor decision.
The board also separately authorized an attestation tied to the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funds and accepted other routine contracts and claims during the same meeting.
