Commissioners allocate $200,000 in ARPA funds for new dispatch system
Summary
After hearing that the current Computer Arts dispatch system is no longer meeting needs or receiving adequate support, the board approved a $200,000 ARPA allocation to implement a Tyler Technologies dispatch system integrated with Bonneville County's dispatch hub.
Mike Miller told the board the county's existing Computer Arts dispatch system is no longer meeting operational needs and lacks adequate vendor support; he recommended replacing it with a Tyler Technologies system that would integrate with Bonneville County's dispatch hub to reduce costs and improve functionality.
Commissioner Young moved to apply $200,000 of ARPA funds to the Tyler Technologies dispatch system implementation; Commissioner Clark seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call by Commissioners Clark and Young and Chairman Hancock. The board discussed overall project costs and funding sources during the presentation, and minutes show the use of ARPA funds was approved as a one-time implementation expense.
The board did not record specific implementation timelines or contract award details in the minutes; staff were authorized to proceed with allocation of ARPA funds to the dispatch system project.
