City authorizes up to $479,000 for public-safety radio consoles through County interlocal
Summary
Following an executive session, Weatherford council authorized the city manager to buy Motorola radio-console hardware and integration services not to exceed $479,000 through an interlocal agreement with Parker County Emergency Service District No. 1; the motion passed on a council vote.
After returning from executive session on security devices and radio communications, the Weatherford City Council authorized the city manager (or designee) to purchase public-safety dispatch radio console hardware and system integration services with Motorola for an amount not to exceed $479,000, to be procured via an interlocal agreement with Parker County Emergency Service District No. 1.
Council member Heidi Wilder moved the authorization and Matt Tiscus provided the second. The council voted to approve the purchase.
Why it matters: The purchase funds critical dispatch infrastructure used by public-safety personnel; the transcript records the dollar cap and the procurement vehicle (interlocal agreement with Parker County Emergency Service District No. 1), but the motion does not specify a funding line-item in this meeting record.
