Commission approves new county phone system and dispatch integration funding plan
Summary
Commission approved purchase of a new phone system under a cooperative contract and authorized integration of central dispatch at a one-time cost of $12,901.87; commissioners noted funding could come from 9-1-1 board monies or by transferring funds from the general fund pending a separate 9-1-1 board meeting.
Staff member (Speaker 4) presented an IT plan to purchase a new phone system from ICS under a cooperative purchasing contract (exempt from bidding pending attorney review) and asked the commission to approve integration of central dispatch into the new system at a one-time cost of $12,901.87. Speaker 4 said the integration will require a budget amendment.
Committee member (Speaker 5) asked whether the cost must come from 9-1-1 funds; Speaker 4 and other staff said the county could convene a 9-1-1 board meeting to move funds if necessary or move money from the general fund to cover the cost. The commission made and seconded the motion to proceed with the purchase and noted staff and the 9-1-1 board will finalize funding details.
