Summary

The board modified the 2026 CIP for Communications to move a planned $30,000 HVAC North Meridian tower replacement to 2027 and use those funds for a higher-priority AVTEC console and server upgrade, approved unanimously.

Communications Director Don Gruver told the commissioners that the county's planned 2026 Capital Improvement Program included $30,000 to replace an HVAC unit at the North Meridian radio tower and about $15,570 for replacement radio-console computers. Motorola's quote for a needed AVTEC console and server upgrade returned at $39,925.60 because it also recommended replacing two servers and USB hubs that had been failing.

Gruver recommended deferring the HVAC replacement to 2027 and using the budgeted funds to complete the AVTEC and server upgrade in 2026. Commissioners approved the CIP modification unanimously (motion by Becky Reimer, second by Don Schroeder). Gruver said the change will allow the communications center to keep critical console systems current while postponing nonessential tower HVAC spending until next year.
