Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected Jun 23, 2026

A carried-over agenda item lists “Discussion/Possible Action of Radios/Public Safety Radio System,” indicating Saunders County is evaluating its public safety radio communications. This suggests the county may be considering upgrades, replacements, or a new radio system for law enforcement, fire, EMS, or other agencies, but no specific vendor or solicitation is mentioned yet. Because the item has been carried over, the Board has not finalized decisions and may still be defining scope, funding, and technology options.), and align solutions with potential funding sources like EMPG. Engagement could focus on needs assessment, interoperability, coverage studies, and long-term maintenance models before formal procurement documents are issued.

The repeated, carried-over nature suggests this is an ongoing planning effort and may become a significant multi-year public safety communications project.
