The latest, from Oct 20: The EMS Chief was scheduled to discuss a Digitech addendum agreement at the October 20, 2026 meeting. The item signals contract administration rather than a fresh procurement, with the county reviewing an existing Digitech relationship. A seller should read this as follow-on work, support, or expansion timing tied to the addendum discussion. The decision point was the meeting vote or direction on that date.
