County approves pagers for department and schedules VHF system evaluation

Smith County Commissioners · April 13, 2026

Summary

A request to purchase pagers at approximately $575 each was approved and Platte Valley Communications will perform an evaluation of the county's VHF radio system, the commissioners were told.

Keith Wangerin asked the commissioners for approval to order pagers for his department at a unit cost of about $575; the board approved the purchase. Wangerin also said Platte Valley Communications will conduct an evaluation of the county's VHF system to assess current coverage and performance.

The minutes record the pager unit price and the board's approval but do not specify the number of units to be ordered or the department name; Wangerin left the meeting after the discussion. The VHF evaluation was announced as forthcoming; no timeline for the vendor evaluation was recorded in the minutes.
