Park County 911 Communications Center

Park County Communications is not a part of the Park County Sheriff's Office.

Once upon a time, comm center did belong to the SO. But, no longer. This seems to be one of the commissioners pet project. It is a needed project but needs to get quotes/bids for new and for remodel in an existing secure building. The Sheriff candidates involvement has been their budget ideas that have been asked of them at the debates. Don't really understand why they are being asked their opinions unless its because one idea is to relocate comm to the jail which does fall under the SO.

Have not had the pleasure of listening. BTW, it was not my opinion. It was a piece of information that I heard from a senior deputy at PCSO. No need to give names.

It is my opinion that there may be some merit in conducting an exploratory on the feasibility of outsourcing that function.

Seems to me that Tighe is so adiment on this $2.5 building, BUT does not give us any reason on not using the space in our empty jail sounds just a tad bit "stinky".

Joe Blow Construction Company Bid: $1.0 million
John Tighe reports in Flume: "INDEED the new communications center is costing $2.5 million"
Joe Blow Construction Company builds us a new Comm. Center for $1.0 million
John Tighe reporting to Flume: "Everything went according to bid of $2.5 million
