Carbon County commissioners
The Carbon County commissioners acted on or discussed the following items during their weekly meeting on Thursday.
• Approved a letter of engagement for the provisioning of NG911 with Pennsylvania acting through the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency to sustain NG911. PEMA selected Comtech to provide 911 call delivery and NG911 services to county’s and regional 911 systems to utilize the NG911 solution effective Dec. 7, 2020, through Dec. 6, 2027, including three one-year renewal options. Approved through the Statewide Interconnectivity Fund.
• Tabled the 2021/2022 insurance renewal with the Pennsylvania Counties Risk Pool from June 1 through May 31, 2022, at a cost of $348,095. This is an increase of $46,156 from last year. The action, which was tabled so further discussion could take place, will be on this week’s agenda.
• Approved a revised proposal from Corporate Environments of Bethlehem for furnishing the first floor of 76 Susquehanna St., Jim Thorpe, at a total cost of $163,068.92.
