The Oklahoma 9‑1‑1 Management Authority on Feb. 9 approved multiple grant awards for GIS remediation and NG9‑1‑1 technology and then took no action on a scheduled Love County compliance hearing because the county’s grant application resolved outstanding issues.
Grant approvals recorded in the meeting packet included:
- City of Drummite: GIS remediation and one year maintenance using vendor GeoComm — total request $57,939 (motion approved).
- Love County: GIS remediation and one year maintenance using vendor SDR — total request $51,190 (motion approved).
- Muskogee 9‑1‑1: Five years of a call‑handling subscription from AT&T Apex with integrated mapping — total request approximately $800,760 with a local match of $175,332 and state commitment figures noted on the record (motion approved).
During discussion of Item 13, staff noted that because Love County’s grant had been approved, the PSAP is now in compliance with the GIS remediation/upload requirement and the board moved to take no action at the scheduled public hearing. A subsequent agenda item considering whether to direct the Oklahoma Tax Commission to escrow Love County’s 9‑1‑1 funds was likewise tabled/no action taken after the grant approval.
Why it matters: The grant awards fund GIS remediation and next‑generation call‑handling capabilities for local PSAPs; GIS data remediation and upload to the state repository are prerequisites for NG9‑1‑1 deployment and can affect future disbursements if not completed.
What happens next: Staff will monitor grant deliverables and upload status; because Love County’s application satisfied requirements, the authority did not pursue escrow or withholding at this meeting.
