Board approves 911 expenditures and emergency-management training request

Washington County Board of Supervisors · August 3, 2026

Summary

Supervisors approved $45,958.60 in 911 expenditures and authorized travel to an active‑shooter incident management course; board discussed aging siren infrastructure and radio system reliability.

The board approved 911 expenditures and agreed to fund travel for an emergency-management representative to attend active‑shooter incident management training in Anniston, Alabama.

Emergency communications staff reported "the 911 expenditures totaling $45,958.60," and described that the Midwin radio system and county 911 are fully operational. The older outdoor siren network remains under repair; staff estimated roughly 30% of the legacy sirens are working and said replacement work is ongoing.

Supervisors moved and seconded the travel and expenditures motions, and the motions carried with the board asking staff to provide full cost estimates (hotel, travel, registration) to the county administrator before final reimbursements.
