Commission approves purchase of UPS batteries to maintain dispatch operations
Summary
A presenter described growing costs and operational risk for dispatch UPS systems; commissioners approved purchasing replacement batteries from the specified budget line.
A presenter described the county's need to replace UPS (uninterrupted power supply) batteries for dispatch after the last purchase about four years earlier and said higher prices make the purchase necessary to maintain continuity. "It's a prime example of why... it's crucial that we have those," the presenter said, explaining the operational risk when dispatch loses power.
Commissioners asked whether the purchase was in the budget line; staff indicated the expense will come from the appropriate line (line 26) and moved to approve the purchase. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the presenter thanked commissioners for the approval.
