County updates: RapidSOS deployment for 911, new chip‑seal truck for highways, jail biometric grant
Summary
County staff reported new PCs and deployment of location‑tracking software for 911 dispatch (transcript: 'RapidOSOS'), the highway department described a new oil distributor truck capable of spraying up to 22 feet for chip seal, and jail staff said a $22,000 grant will pay for a new biometric fingerprint scanner.
County staff and department heads reported several operational upgrades and equipment arrivals. The 911 coordinator said new dispatch PCs have arrived and that the county has "fully deployed RapidOSOS" (as stated in the transcript) to provide continuous location breadcrumbs from callers’ phones to dispatchers, improving mapping and response.
Highway staff reported the arrival of a new oil distributor truck used for chip seal, said field testing at the fairgrounds went well and noted the machine can spray "up to 22 feet" in width. Staff asked for patience on mowing and locates while chip-seal work is prioritized.
Jail staff said the county secured about $22,000 in grant funds to replace an aging biometric fingerprint scanner expected to be installed this month, and that printers used by several offices are being replaced as they fall outside existing service contracts.
