The agenda for the upcoming meeting includes approval of the December 2, 2025, minutes, review of financial reports including ETSB Investments, and updates from PSAP and Secondary PSAP managers. Key discussion items are scheduled concerning a technical report detailing CentralSquare Open Tickets, and 'Other Business' which features a Motorola FLEX Presentation and a discussion on Call Handling Software. Public Comment is also scheduled before adjournment.

The agenda for the meeting scheduled for December 17, 2025, included several hearings for applications requesting variances, special use permits, and rezoning amendments. Specifically, the board planned to hear cases regarding an accessory building location/height variance (VZ-26-001), a seasonal recreational use permit (SU-26-201), a rezoning from Agricultural to Suburban Estates (RZ-26-102), and a rezoning from Residential to Business (RZ-26-101). The meeting agenda also set aside time for the approval of minutes from the November 19, 2025 meeting and the approval of Findings of Fact from that same prior meeting.

The meeting covered several financial and operational matters. The Board approved the December accounts payable, noting the largest expenditure was for the RapidSOS Premium subscription. Billing adjustments for RMS IT employees were deferred until the start of the new fiscal year in April 2026. The committee approved the issuance of a Blackhawk credit card for an employee. PSAP reports indicated staffing levels, ongoing transfer issues to Scott County, and a high number of CAD crashes at the Rock Island PSAP. The technical report addressed the continued decline in QComm CAD crashes, responsiveness from CentralSquare, and a demonstration of their Atlas mapping product, which was deemed premature for adoption. Work is progressing on deploying BitLocker drive encryption and testing a new ticketing system. The Board renewed the QCGIS contract for ongoing NG911 boundary work. Regarding CESSA requirements, training compliance for QComm and RICO PSAPs was discussed, alongside ongoing state-level dialogue concerning 988 call transfers. An executive session was held to discuss personnel matters, resulting in the approval of a review and merit increase for an employee.

The agenda includes items such as the Condition of Funds Report, reports from the Finance and Personnel Committee, the Governance, Health, and Administration Committee, and the Public Works and Facilities Committee. The agenda also covers the approval of the County Board Agenda and a potential closed session to discuss matters related to personnel, property purchase or lease, closed session minutes, and litigation. Additional agenda items include considering action based on the closed session and a committee member opportunity for brief comment.

The agenda includes roll call, reading of procedures, and hearings for variance and special use requests. These requests include a front yard setback variance for David Hull & Amanda Moore, a special use permit for a home business for James & Rhonda Whan, and a density increase request for James F. Wheeler. The agenda also involves the approval of findings of fact from the September 17, 2025, meeting, and scheduling the next hearing for December 17, 2025, with applications from Jerry & Lisa Pratt and Kristopher Homan.
