Public safety radio system replacement and funding
Summary
The county's Motorola radio system is nearly 10 years old. A new radio site was listed at $52 million but is actually about $5.2 million — still, consoles, base stations and the maintenance contract (prepaid $4.4 million for ten years in 2018) will all need renewal soon. A commissioner wants cost-sharing from the school board and other agencies reexamined.
