Committee authorizes MOU to name Vernon County as secondary backup dispatch partner
Summary
Emergency management staff presented a memorandum of understanding to designate Vernon County as a secondary backup for dispatch services; the committee approved the MOU to add an extra layer of redundancy behind Green Lake County.
Waushara County's emergency management and communications lead, Allen, presented a proposed memorandum of understanding to name Vernon County as a secondary backup public-safety answering point (PSAP) if both the county's primary backup (Green Lake County) and regional options were unavailable. Allen said the county's primary backup arrangement with Green Lake will remain unchanged and that Vernon County would serve as a backup-to-the-backup.
The committee moved and approved the MOU on a voice vote. "The notice of funding came through for 2026, and 2027 will be rolled off shortly," Allen said while summarizing related grant and budget items for communications. Staff will proceed to finalize the MOU and related technical arrangements to ensure continuity of dispatch services in the event of outages to primary PSAPs.
