LISBON – The Columbiana County Commissioners approved a $193,154 lease deal to purchase a new radio system for the Sheriff’s Office which could save costs and increase safety for deputies who rely on the radio as their lifeline in the field. “Our radio system has been in dire need of replacement for some time,” Sheriff David Smith said Wednesday, adding it was last upgraded in 1973. He said the system needed immediate attention. Dispatchers have been losing contact with deputies in the field due to dead spots and one of the towers used as a repeater site in the western part of the county where he has an antenna is being dismantled by the owner. The commissioners approved a lease/purchase agreement with Dollar Leasing of Cleveland to purchase the equipment for the Multi-Agency Radio Communication System known as MARCS. As part of the five-year deal, the county will make an annual payment of $44,771 beginning July 2009 and then purchase the equipment at the end of the contract for $1.
