Commissioners back exploring $90,000 dispatch-console replacement; cost-split proposed
Summary
Commissioner Rick Shriver told the commission dispatch communications equipment failures—attributed to lightning damage—may require a replacement costing about $90,000. A proposed cost-share of $30,000 each from the 911 Board, City of Pratt and Pratt County drew informal support pending a final proposal.
Commissioner Rick Shriver briefed the commission on recurring communications-equipment failures in the City of Pratt dispatch center, which he said are believed to stem from prior lightning damage. Shriver presented two replacement proposals and stated the "anticipated total project cost is approximately $90,000." He described a proposed cost-share of $30,000 each from the 911 Board, City of Pratt and Pratt County.
Commissioners expressed consensus in support of the County contributing its estimated $30,000 share but did not take formal action; Shriver said the commission will consider approval once staff receives the final proposal and detailed cost information.
