Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell and Sandy Springs would have to absorb costs.
The Johns Creek City Council on Monday voted unanimously to opt out of an intergovernmental operating agreement among North Fulton cities to create a new public safety radio system. The system is planned as a replacement for Fulton County's ailing system, which is 20-years-old and described as "failing." Under the terms of the new system agreement, Johns Creek would have paid more than $2 million for initial capitalization, not including yearly maintenance costs, etc. Since Johns Creek rejected the IGA, the other four cities will have to go back and approve a modified version of both the IGA and the cost-sharing document. James Drinkard, assistant city administrator for Alpharetta, said the vote on the original IGA was linked to a price, …
