Summary
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors authorized acceptance of $1,515,197 in SFY2025 NG911 grant funding to procure and install a Motorola VESTA 9‑1‑1 call handling system, approve procurement through a cooperative contract, and amend the E911 budget to recognize the grant.
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors voted May 19 to accept $1,515,197 in SFY2025 Next Generation 911 (NG911) grant funding and to use the money to purchase a Motorola Solutions VESTA 9‑1‑1 call‑handling system.
Mr. Carr presented the resolution, which cites a Motorola proposal dated April 24, 2026, and authorizes the Sheriff’s Office to use the Rockland County Empire Procure Connect cooperative contract (Contract #RCO-RC-EPC-2024-010) for procurement. The funding will cover equipment, software, installation, training and support; the resolution directs the Budget Officer to add $1,515,197 to A3642 E911 Communications revenue (43716 NG911 State Aid) and the same amount to appropriations for NG911 equipment (54424).
The resolution specifies that the grant is intended to modernize the county’s public safety answering point to support voice, text‑to‑911 and multimedia communications. It also authorizes the chairman to execute grant documents and the Purchasing Agent to procure the system in accordance with county policy. No local match amount beyond any grant‑specified match was noted in the resolution.
Next steps outlined in the resolution include execution of the grant agreement by the chairman and procurement under the referenced cooperative contract. The board adopted the resolution on roll call.
Provenance: The authorization and budget amendment were presented to the board as Resolution 276-26 and adopted on May 19, 2026.
