County to seek budget amendment for digital fire pagers after costs rise ~35%
Summary
Clinton County will request a May budget amendment and interlocal agreement to fund a countywide digital fire paging transition of about 270 pagers; the project’s 35% cost increase from a $260,000 estimate was attributed to tariffs.
Director Christine Collom reported that all fire departments submitted required information for a countywide digital paging project intended to replace the aging VHF paging system. The new countywide microwave simulcast configuration will use three shared towers coordinated with the State and neighboring counties to maintain interoperability.
Collom said the project was originally estimated at $260,000 but costs have increased approximately 35% because of tariffs. She will present a request to the Board of Commissioners in May for a budget amendment and approval of an interlocal agreement. The minutes do not include verbatim public testimony; the details above are summarized from the meeting record.
