Committee signs off on $7,138 MSP grant to add floor-level mapping to dispatch CAD
Summary
Committee approved forwarding and signing a state MSP critical infrastructure grant for $7,138 to add pictometry and z-axis mapping to the county CAD system; staff said no local match is required and a larger grant cycle will follow next February.
A county 9-1-1 official (referred to in the transcript as Sherry) told the committee the state awarded Jackson County an MSP critical infrastructure grant of $7,138 to add pictometry and floor-level detail to the county CAD mapping, with no local match required. The presenter said the award notice must be signed by May 15, with the remaining paperwork due May 28, and asked the committee to approve the signature and forward the partnership agreement to the full board.
"The grant will help us build that out with dispatch, GIS, and IT," the presenter said, describing a plan to pilot pictometry for the courthouse and then pursue a larger grant next year to cover additional critical infrastructure buildings. Commissioners approved the requested signature and forwarded the partnership agreement to the full board; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous committee support for the award. The presenter also summarized dispatch metrics and noted ongoing discussions with Wayne State and Lifeways on behavioral-health crisis support for dispatch centers.
