Cottonwood County approves cloud-based 911 upgrade, sheriff authorized to sign contract
Summary
Sheriff Jason Purrington presented two Central Square upgrade options and the board voted unanimously to purchase the cloud-based upgrade at $72,541.74 (first year maintenance included) with second-year maintenance estimated at $35,167.74; Purrington said 911 funds will cover the cost.
Sheriff Jason Purrington told the board that Central Square provided two upgrade options for the countys 911 system: a Premium Server Upgrade priced at $170,569.73 plus yearly maintenance of $14,884.16, and a Cloud-Based Upgrade priced at $72,541.74 with first-year maintenance included and an estimated second-year maintenance of $35,167.74. Purrington said existing 911 funds would cover the expense, and the board voted unanimously to approve the cloud-based option and authorized the Sheriff to sign the contract.
The board did not attach additional conditions in the minutes; the purchase will proceed through the Sheriff's office and will carry maintenance costs into the second year as noted. The decision consolidates the 911 upgrade procurement into a lower upfront-cost cloud option according to the Sheriff's presentation.
