Teton commissioners approve $184,591 dispatch-console deposit to lock in discount

Teton County’s Board of County Commissioners approved a $184,591.25 budget amendment and purchase authorization on March 9 to place a 25% deposit for new Motorola CommandCentral AXS dispatch consoles, according to the commissioners’ voucher-meeting agenda and staff report. The Sheriff’s Office said the current dispatch consoles are expected to reach end-of-life in 2030, and that committing now would secure a promotional 2026 price.

In the staff report, the Sheriff’s Office said the original price for the consoles and related upgrade work was $1,018,365, with a promotion reducing the cost by about $280,000 if accepted by March 16, 2026. The agenda materials state that Motorola would hold the consoles until the courthouse project is complete, with delivery/installation tied to the dispatch center relocation associated with that project.

The action approved increasing the FY26 Fund 37 budget’s equipment-capital line by approximately $184,591.25, with the remainder of the purchase expected in later years. The agenda packet references procurement through a cooperative contract (Sourcewell #020625-MOT) and notes the proposal’s pricing validity through March 16. (Sheriff’s Office Meeting Agenda Packet)
