Commission approves phone-system contract and $12,901.87 central dispatch integration; 9-1-1 funding options discussed
Summary
County approved a cooperative-contract purchase of a new phone system with an integration cost for central dispatch of $12,901.87; commissioners discussed using 9-1-1 funds or transferring money from the general fund pending a 9-1-1 board meeting.
Clerk read a request from IT manager Glenn Morgan to purchase a new phone system under a cooperative contract and presented a separate request to integrate central dispatch into that system at a one-time cost of $12,901.87, which will require a budget amendment. Commissioner (speaker 5) asked whether 9-1-1 funds must pay for integration; staff confirmed there may be sufficient 9-1-1 line items and that the county could move funds or call a 9-1-1 board meeting to reallocate money if needed.
Commissioners moved and seconded the purchase and integration approval. Staff said one line item already contains funding for an extra repeater and that the county will coordinate with the 9-1-1 board as required.
