Commissioners approve $3,500 for PSAP monitors and raise 9-1-1 coordinator spending limit to $1,000
Summary
Following committee recommendations, the board approved $3,500 to replace three monitors at the PSAP (including installation) and increased the 9-1-1 coordinator's between-meeting spending authority from $500 to $1,000.
Commissioners approved $3,500 to purchase and install three new monitors for the county's PSAP (public-safety answering point) and voted to increase the 9-1-1 coordinator's authority to spend between meetings from $500 to $1,000. The Technical Services Advisory Committee initially recommended $3,500 and a coordinator threshold; the planning committee adjusted the threshold to $1,000 before the commissioners approved both items.
Commissioner Wharton explained the rationale: all three monitors are being replaced together, with one kept as a spare for use between the PSAP and backup PSAP to allow for rapid recovery if a unit fails. The board recorded the motion and carried both approvals with aye votes.
