1222 Statewide 911
911 Director Fred Cummings presented an appropriation of $85,000.00 to 311 Contractual Services. Mr. Cummings explained that the appropriation was for an AI-assisted system designed to answer and route non-emergency administrative calls rather than 911 emergency calls. The system can assist with routine requests such as accident reports and other administrative matters, reducing the number of calls that must be handled by dispatchers. Mr. Cummings stated that the Commissioners had approved a three-year contract at $85,000.00 per year and that the agreement was undergoing legal review.
