City county mall upgrade to radio system
City and county officials plan a six to seven million dollar upgrade of the Lawrence emergency radio system to address aging equipment and capacity. Talks with Motorola seek to expand the Douglas County 911 channel and unify operations for events like the Final Four. The city would cover about two thirds of costs while the county pays the rest, with financing to span multiple years.
