Board leans to stay with NorthCAD/Tyler for 911 CAD system
Summary
After discussion about interoperability and cost, commissioners signaled no action to change the county's 911 CAD vendor, favoring the NorthCAD/Tyler option rather than alternatives that could isolate the county from regional partners.
Commissioners reviewed preliminary figures and interoperability concerns for a proposed change to the county 911 Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. A member recommended maintaining the county's planned NorthCAD/Tyler solution after warning that alternatives could cost more and leave Alger County isolated from other counties' systems.
"My recommendation to the board is stick with the NorthCAD Group and Tyler," a commissioner said, arguing that the group's research and vendor work supported continuity. Other commissioners noted that the alternative appeared to lack interoperability and could increase long-term costs. The board took no action to switch vendors at this meeting and asked staff to keep the item under review.
