Commissioners authorize steps to move county 911 to next‑generation cloud system
Summary
Hancock County commissioners directed staff to proceed with quotes from Intrado Life & Safety to upgrade the county 911 system to a cloud‑based next‑generation platform and approved interim service payments while equipment is installed.
At the 10:30 a.m. session the board met with Brian Stozich and heard that the county must migrate its emergency 911 system to next‑generation, cloud‑based technology. Brian presented vendor quotes from Intrado Life & Safety for a five‑year contract and for interim service costs while the new equipment is installed.
Brian said the five‑year equipment quote and a pro‑rated service bridge were provided by Intrado and that he preferred annual payments so the county would not deplete 911 fund balances at once. The minutes record the service‑bridge quote as $48,577.78 and show the commission approved moving forward and directed Phil Johnson to prepare resolutions to formalize the vendor agreements.
The minutes list Intrado as the county's current provider and note the county expects faster installation and reduced costs because some infrastructure is already in place. The board did not vote a final contract at the meeting; commissioners directed staff to bring formal resolutions back for execution.
