A Calm yet Engaging Meeting

During the September session of this important legislative year, it seemed like everything flowed smoothly without any sign of controversy among the commissioners.

Sean Eriksen, the area sales manager for Motorola Solutions, alongside Mark Ridings, the communications officer for Carter County, presented an update on the project. Unfortunately, they noted there has been a delay in establishing this essential network.

This new emergency communication system is critical for ensuring that the community is better equipped to handle emergencies. Both Eriksen and Ridings reassured the commissioners that, despite setbacks, they are working diligently to get the project back on track. Improvements in communication capabilities are vital for the overall safety of the community, and everyone seemed eager to see the enhancements come to fruition. Eriksen emphasized, “We are committed to delivering a reliable system you can trust in times of need.”
