Teton sheriff seeks FY26 budget amendment for $184,591 Motorola dispatch deposit
In a March 9 agenda item, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office asks commissioners to amend FY26 Fund 37 to pay a 25% deposit ($184,591) by March 16 to lock in promotional pricing on replacement dispatch consoles tied to the new courthouse timeline.
Teton County commissioners will consider amending the Sheriff’s FY26 Fund 37 budget to add $184,591.25 for a 25% deposit on new dispatch operator consoles, an “end of life” replacement tied to the county’s courthouse/dispatch relocation timeline. The Sheriff’s staff report says the deposit must be paid by March 16 to secure Motorola’s discounted 2026 promotional pricing. (Sheriff's Office Meeting Agenda Packet)
The Sheriff’s Office report pegs the original equipment price at $1,018,365 and says the March 16 commitment would reduce that price by about $280,000. Under the proposal, Motorola would hold the consoles and install them when the courthouse is finished. (Sheriff's Office Meeting Agenda Packet)
The packet includes Motorola’s “AXS Upgrade Proposal,” which describes an upgrade from the county’s existing MCC 7500/7500E dispatch positions to the CommandCentral AXS platform, including upgrading six existing positions and adding two additional operator positions, plus related backroom and network-redundancy components planned to be installed as part of the dispatch center relocation.
