Summary

Madison County approved a change order and agreement with the City of Indianapolis (service now known as NESA) to retain radio core services and add updated security elements; the board approved the agreement contingent on legal review and noted 18‑month opt-out language.

Jim Cleaver (speaker 12) presented a proposed agreement and change order with the City of Indianapolis to continue Madison County's use of Indianapolis' radio core services and to update a security-response line item. Cleaver said Indianapolis reorganized the providing entity (from Public Safety Communications/PCS to NESA), added capabilities over the last 10 years, and that the proposed agreement raises average annual costs roughly $22,000–$25,000 over a 10-year period; he also described a modest security-related line item he estimated at about $6,000 across the 10-year pricing.

Cleaver emphasized additional capabilities and equipment in Indianapolis' facility and noted the agreement contains an 18-month opt-out clause. The board approved Cleaver's requested change order and agreement contingent on legal review by the county attorney, passing the motion by voice vote.
