Marshall County 911 board reports recorder replacement; $89,000 cost covered by ARPA grant
Summary
Board staff reported a critical failure of the meeting/911 recorder; the unit was replaced at a cost of $89,000 paid from ARPA grant funds to avoid a budget impact.
At its Dec. 12 meeting, the Marshall County 911 Service Board heard that the system used to record meetings and dispatch audio experienced a critical failure and was replaced. Board guest Rhonda Braudis told the board the replacement cost $89,000 and was covered by the ARPA grant, so the county’s operating budget was not affected.
Braudis said the recorder ‘‘had a critical failure last week and it has been replaced,’’ and that planning ahead allowed the purchase to be funded by grant money rather than the surcharge budget. Board members asked about contingency plans and how equipment failures will be handled going forward.
