Commission hears that Omnigo contract runs through 2029; Interpol alternative and server costs discussed
Summary
Staff told commissioners the county’s Omnigo contract cannot be exited until 2029; the group discussed a potential move to Interpol that earlier seemed favorable, the high quoted server costs to support a transition, and the need to preserve CAD/dispatch features.
County staff and technology contractors discussed a multi-year contract with Omnigo that, according to the vendor’s regional director, locks certain obligations until 2029. Commissioners said they had explored switching to an alternative vendor, Interpol, which staff had described as offering integration and lower initial conversion cost; county staff said the Omnigo representative later told them the existing contract could not be exited.
The group also discussed technical implications and costs tied to a vendor switch, including a server quote referenced in the meeting. One staff member said a server was quoted at roughly $19,000 last year; others noted that cloud migration could change the needs by 2029. Commissioners stressed that dispatch and CAD integration are essential operational requirements and that any transition must preserve those functions. No final procurement action was taken; the commission elected to stay with the current vendor until the contract term and to continue communications with alternative vendors about a 2029 transition.
