Emergency management seeks $100,000 for EOC upgrades from unencumbered reserve

The county's emergency management team asked the board to approve reallocating $100,000 from its unencumbered reserve to upgrade the emergency operations center's audiovisual systems and replace end-of-life displays and smart boards. Scott described the EOC as heavily used for emergency response and training and said current displays are "in excess of 15 years" old; the estimated IT replacement was roughly $90,000 plus 10% contingency and a small furniture/supplies allowance.
