A maintenance contract for 911’s voice recording system is on the agenda for the next Barton County Commission meeting, set for 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Room 106 of the courthouse. The Commission meeting will be live-streamed through Microsoft Teams and may be viewed at https://bit.ly/3BkgzSt. 

Deana Popp, 911 director, and Casey Hubbard, investigator/office manager, will provide details on the voice logger, which Communications purchased in partnership with the County Attorney’s Office in 2018.
