Council tables $245,000 appropriation for EMA backup 911 system
Summary
Chairman Scott said the backup 911 system at the EMA failed testing and cited a $245,000 repair estimate; the council voted to table the appropriation to allow staff to explore other options.
Chairman Scott informed the council that the backup 911 system at the Emergency Management Agency failed during testing and cited a repair estimate of $245,000. The council voted to table the appropriation motion so staff can explore alternatives and provide more options before any large expenditure is approved.
Council members recorded the issue in the meeting minutes but declined to authorize the full $245,000 at this session. The council's recorded action was to table the appropriation 7-0, which preserves the county's ability to revisit the item after staff reports on alternative solutions or funding sources.
