Insurance coverage increases with new 911 system

During the 911 Board meeting held May 26, Supervisor Dana Carder noted that the internet speed in the office had to be upgraded as the new system is Windows-based and the former access speed proved inadequate. Ms. Carder also advised that a MULES Audit had been conducted and there were no compliance issues.

Carder informed the board about an insurance coverage increase. The 911 system coverage was increased from $100,000 to $110,000 due to the new system. Total insurance for all computer systems and equipment in the 911 office is currently $170,000.

Employment applications were given to the board for their review at the May 26 meeting. Interviews will be conducted later in June. There were no Board Member comments.
