Jackson County approves state grant to install paging system at the Expo
Summary
The Board approved Order No. 180‑26, accepting grant agreement No. 25‑201 with the State of Oregon Department of Emergency Management to purchase and install a paging system at the Expo to deliver prerecorded and live messages inside buildings and parking areas.
The Jackson County Board of Commissioners approved Order No. 180‑26 on July 1, 2026, accepting Grant Agreement No. 25‑201 with the State of Oregon Department of Emergency Management to fund purchase and installation of a paging system at the Expo. County Administrator Danny Jordan told the Board the system is intended to improve emergency and routine communications across indoor and outdoor Expo spaces.
"This system will deliver prerecorded and live messages to relay important information to individuals inside the buildings and the parking areas," Jordan said during his explanation of the order. Commissioner Colleen Roberts moved to approve the order; Commissioner Randy Sparacino seconded. The motion passed unanimously (ayes: Roberts, Sparacino, Dyer).
The county record does not specify the grant amount or an installation timeline. The order authorizes acceptance of the state funds and moves procurement and installation planning to the appropriate county departments. Next procedural steps are for staff to proceed with purchasing and scheduling installations under the grant terms.
