The Captiva Island Fire Control District s commissioners approved the purchase of new mobile and portable radios for the district so it is in compliance with Lee County s radio network upgrade.
At its recent meeting, the Captiva Island Fire Control District’s commission approved the purchase of new radios to match a county upgrade, as well as picked a candidate for an open seat on the board.
On Dec. 8, Commissioners Sherrill Sims and Jeffrey Brown voted 2-0 on a resolution to allow for a capital expenditure to replace the district’s current mobile and portable 800 mghz radios. The purchase is necessary in order to be compliant with the P25 digital upgrade that Lee County is performing to its radio network. The cost of the radios is not to exceed $54,000 per the quote received from Motorola.
