Radio Tower site Power system
Replacements
August 12th, 2026

Current power systems that supply power to the -48-volt DC radio
communications equipment are due for replacement. The equipment is 15
years old, and the manufacturer is no longer in business, therefore technical
support and module repairs are no longer available.
These critical power systems will be updated so that they reliably function
during power outages, providing battery power to the equipment until the
generator starts and provides power to the equipment and to re-charge the
backup power batteries.
This is a planned equipment lifecycle replacement, budgeted for in the 0616342 budget. Included in the 2026 board approved budget. Total cost for all
three sites is $63,010.00.

ARMER Radio Test Equipment
August 12th, 2026

To maintain subscriber ARMER radios, staff routinely test and align subscriber
radios at the Sheriff’s office and at Police and Fire Departments throughout
the county.
The form factor and size of this test equipment will provide much more
portable equipment when accessing squad car trunks and fire truck center
consoles and compartments. This battery powered test equipment will
alleviate the need for extension cords and staff time waiting for test
equipment to boot up multiple times while moving to fire and police vehicles
throughout a fire station or parking lot.
Time efficiency and portable form factor convenience will improve ARMER
subscriber radio maintenance throughout the county.
Included in the 2026 board approved budget. Total cost for all three sites is
$32,539.60.

On August 1, 2026, the realtor and landowner discussed the option to split one of these
parcels (02.00002.20). This idea is much more appealing due to a price reduction, and the
county parks planned future needs. Currently, this property has higher market value due
to buildable land acreage and road easement access. If the County was willing to
purchase Option 2-(15 acres) for future parkland, these are the likely steps that would be
followed from a parks acquisition perspective. The landowner is asking $20,000 per acre
for option 2 for a total cost of $300,000.
•

Secure Initial Funding, Options below.
o Parks and Trails Council of MN-Purchase on behalf of County
 Detailed application process, needs formal PTCM Board approval plus
County Board Approval
 Will likely want us to get survey and appraisal completed (extra costs
and not budgeted)
 Will need to payback in 2–3-year time frame plus additional title and
closing costs, which is not budgeted.
o CIP Funding and/or General Fund Balance

Intentional thoughts
1. Securing adjacent land parcels at Ki-Chi Saga Park is very enticing and
beneficial for long term planning. Opportunity to purchase land next to a
current park is rare and typically only happens once.
2. Ki-Chi-Saga Park does not currently meet Regional Park eligible acreage.
Securing additional land would be beneficial if we pursue regional park status
in future. (current park acreage is 92-acres). To meet regional park eligibility,
we would need to purchase the entire 25 acres, due to the fact that we would
need to subtract the current athletic field acreage space of 13.25-acres and
still meet the 100-acre minimum requirement. However, the 15-acre purchase
would make Ki-Chi Saga a premier county park, which currently tracks 55-60
thousand visitors per year.
3. Purchasing 15-acres (Option 2) would be considerably cheaper. Farther down
the line we could apply for non-regional Outdoor Recreation Grant which
could help fund additional parking lot, paved trail loop, expansion of athletic

would be very appealing to riders and athletic associations to hold larger
