Summary
Dispatch staff requested and the committee approved a resolution to apply for a state PSAP NG9-1-1 matching grant (10% match); the application seeks $79,912 for dispatch furniture and wiring upgrades and work is scheduled to start Oct. 20.
Dispatch staff asked the committee to approve a resolution to apply for and accept a PSAP NG9-1-1 grant to upgrade dispatch furniture, wiring and related equipment. The grant application requests $79,912; staff noted the grant requires a 10% local match in 2027. Committee approved the resolution on a motion (Welty, second Schmidt) and staff said upgrades are scheduled to start Oct. 20 with temporary relocation of dispatch during the project.
Staff explained the grant money is drawn from a state pool funded by the phone surcharge (described in discussion as the 75¢ police and fire protection fund). The committee voted to accept the grant resolution and will forward necessary documents to the county board and finance for matching and procurement steps.
