Cumming City Council members focused on communications and utility-department upgrades at their May meeting.
The Council approved spending $48,718 to purchase 11 Motorola portable radios for the police department. City officials said that upgrades to Forsyth County’s 800 MHz radio system — on which the city operates — will make existing radios inoperable by 2018. The city bought 11 upgraded radios in 2016 and this is the second half of the budgeted purchase.
The Council also approved purchasing two heavy equipment trailers from Country Boy Trailers for $7,850 each and a mini-excavator for the water department from Bobcat of Atlanta for $45,817.
