Fulton County approves $230,699.51 state grant for 911 system maintenance and hires per-diem dispatcher

Fulton County commissioners approved acceptance of a State Interconnectivity Grant totaling $230,699.51 to support maintenance and upgrades to county 911 systems, and they voted to hire a per-diem dispatcher.

EMA/911 Director Brian Barton and HR Administrator Mary Huston presented the grant for approval. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve and execute the grant agreement; commissioners voted unanimously. The grant is designated for SouthCentral Mountain CAD maintenance, SouthCentral Mountain CHE maintenance, SouthCentral Mountain ESInet maintenance, Fulton NG911 GIS maintenance, a SouthCentral Mountain battery upgrade, and Fulton ILEC maintenance.

In a separate motion, Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to hire Troy Wagaman as a per-diem 911 dispatcher, with employment effective pending clearances. The board approved the hire unanimously. A brief Salary Board meeting later set the salary for the new per-diem dispatcher.

The grant amount and the listed projects were read into the minutes; the meeting record does not provide a contract period or match requirements.
