Court approves contingency transfer for main tower electrical work and notes Motorola upgrade milestones
Summary
Court authorized a contingency transfer to cover electrical work at the county’s main radio tower enclosure and acknowledged completion milestones for three Motorola change orders; a Motorola representative agreed to attend future meetings to answer questions as the simulcast upgrade continues toward an April–May completion window.
County staff told the court that work to finish the new enclosure at the main tower has produced higher electrical invoices than expected and requested about $40,000 from contingency to complete the electrical work. The request was made to ensure the enclosure and radios are operational; the court approved the transfer and the work proceeded.
Separately, staff updated the court on completion milestones for change orders tied to the county's Motorola 700 MHz simulcast upgrade. A Motorola representative, Jonathan Castelaw, introduced himself and said Motorola will make a representative available at future court meetings to answer questions as the project moves toward expected completion in April or May. The court acknowledged the completed change‑order milestones and approved signing invoices for completed work.
