DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

This software platform will be a useful tool in the County and the various outside response agencies working together to develop effective responses to emergencies within the County.
Since Board C-17 requires departments to obtain authorization from the Board of Supervisors to utilize any contract that does not have a stated contract term on an annual basis, the Sheriff’s Office will return to the Board annually to renew this perpetual contract.
