The village is moving forward with a much-discussed radio communications upgrade for its emergency services, approving a total of $1,067,935 for the project.
The passage of the ordinance appropriating the money came without discussion from members of the public and the Ridgewood governing body last Wednesday, a change from the special meetings and sessions that filled the council’s calendar for the greater portion of this year. By approving the expense and putting the plan in place, Ridgewood will now comply with the Federal Communications Commission’s narrowband directive.
Ridgewood’s communications improvements will include three separate projects. For the first portion, which became known as Part A Option 1, the village will purchase and install radio upgrades for a sum of $693,750. That total includes all the material and work needed for installation as well as overall infrastructure improvements.
