Coyle said the sum is driven by a combination of personnel savings and increased fee revenue enacted by the legislature in mid‑2024.

Coyle explained personnel savings: a captain's position left vacant after the December 2023 death of Captain Sam Manley remained unfilled for 2024, producing salary savings; the office also used court-security positions as a recruitment pipeline (candidates worked part time in court security, then attended the academy and moved to deputy roles), which reduced payroll costs while trainees were in the academy. Those steps, he said, reduced salary and benefit expenditures during 2024.

On revenue, the sheriff said state legislative changes increased certain fee collections beginning July 2024. Examples the sheriff cited included higher vehicle-inspection fees (the per-inspection amount increased from previously reported rates) and higher fees for civil papers such as evictions. The sheriff said the office typically handles many vehicle inspections for residents purchasing out-of-state vehicles, and the increase added to receipts.

Coyle told the court that similar surpluses are not expected for 2025 because the department has filled positions and anticipates full staffing; he said the return is a demonstration of stewardship and credited staff training and hiring practices for the savings.

Court members congratulated the sheriff on the result and asked staff to note that the figure will be returned to the fiscal court for appropriation.","Sheriff Mike Coyle told the fiscal court the sheriff's office will return $331,367.60 to the county after 2024; savings were credited to an unfilled captain position, use of court-security staffing pipelines, higher vehicle-inspection and civil-service fees, and other revenue increases.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6290935,"Votes at a glance: Madison County Fiscal Court actions on Feb. 11, 2025",127,1012654,1139809,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2530221-803a643fa8f5c90ff0a37b3607ebf2ea&start=1012&end=1139","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2530221-803a643fa8f5c90ff0a37b3607ebf2ea/thumbnail_1012654.jpg","/articles/6290935/Madison-County/Kentucky/Votes-at-a-glance-Madison-County-Fiscal-Court-actions-on-Feb-11-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6290935-411c92065d7db839137f9d0c68c8df1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771058590&Signature=XHickTl4Y8peqzqtIA1KiMfoJbCwebwq7ZHEt2XC14BgMvQpJJAhceZf~s04Ibnf4dFlP73SzNfR0hsrH4I~oRxnAJqQzZR-xb7vy2i7O~Ch~hhXKYATYwzuwYb53ML3Y-c4y88sti2sfGtdY8OeJEdU~vEikz7dNuhLrShBt4nu9EC6YgH3fXj~ZU-T0cnpYiPmeIeDb8ezvOeeDcsqmD-KqOGDbGlOrX-iti5tpjGw0mxrQdNoHgauZcC9rlSS3YGQnHIU9mCnOKiH45bI7-Dl2KcZUDRNr7VpABMgKmIh8wjSlQ6Kczo01Opgkc-Sl6rmhzyXPCGiTGkWVgAjJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Feb. 11 meeting, the Madison County Fiscal Court recorded roll-call approvals for a set of routine and grant-related items.

For the calendar year she reported 14,902 total computer‑aided dispatch incidents, 42,050 incoming 9‑1‑1 calls, and 8,434 of those 9‑1‑1 calls arrived on cell phones. The center also recorded about 1,717,469 radio “key ups” for the year across participating agencies.

Wendy told the court that the center met National Emergency Number Association (NENA) benchmarks and exceeded local performance goals: “NENA likes for you to answer 95% of your 911 calls within 20 seconds. I'm proud to say we answered 97.2% of our calls, but we answered those within 15 seconds,” she said.

The report summarized accomplishments in 2024: a criminal justice executive development program inclusion for telecommunications personnel, development of an internal training program and recognition under APCO Project 33 for the center’s training program. Wendy said the county was the second agency in Kentucky to receive that national recognition. She also described two Kentucky 9‑1‑1 service board grants awarded to the center, an ongoing PSAP (public-safety answering point) upgrade expected in April, and a 2024 grant that will support text‑to‑9‑1‑1 implementation.

Wendy emphasized workforce challenges: while positions were budgeted and several candidates have attended the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) academy, the center remains short of “trained capacity” because multiple new hires still require academy instruction. She described wellness and PTSD supports for dispatchers and a staff wellness committee intended to address job-related trauma.

Court members thanked the 9‑1‑1 staff and asked for continued emphasis on funding and training as NextGen 9‑1‑1 standards and fee implementations proceed. The director provided contact information and invited further questions.","The county's 9-1-1 director presented annual statistics showing 14,902 total center incidents, 42,050 9-1-1 calls in 2024 and a 97.2% answer rate within 15 seconds; staff highlighted accreditation, wellness, text‑to‑911 grants and NextGen work.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6290945,"Madison County fiscal court hears lengthy presentation on proposed GIS hosting with Richmond",2444,1249195,3693595,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2530221-803a643fa8f5c90ff0a37b3607ebf2ea&start=1249&end=3693","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2530221-803a643fa8f5c90ff0a37b3607ebf2ea/thumbnail_1249195.jpg","/articles/6290945/Madison-County/Kentucky/Madison-County-fiscal-court-hears-lengthy-presentation-on-proposed-GIS-hosting-with-Richmond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6290945-4726ce071bc92d6c7f34b8cab25780fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771058591&Signature=jvk8kK3djY~FCcdRYXYh0g4ofLhkIr1lt5e1G8PzwO-xkyV1sENwBf-y91yxSfgq3WQ54m8CASpMbdCOzwdPaTxJP6dP2hPwhGHfuX6EEIrZG78VVdAV1~GtarE~k6JH~PCPS-uiQfcIr~STyIJqiZlMVhnsmBnva9JP26lMJfj4yZSE8IhHVE8pAi8WR7bGqKrP~4sjS-V4CHuWIu2IFPichhu0rn8f4WBekofwyBsofMh6nfN02mzm4hht2DJaxSYOgzyI2AVZyLdV~PDHz~uylNe439fv0OF5VcUdavkJGpTaCKhlYOcgJ0WxgrzGyjvgzTVxo4PGqqQSa92NuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Judge Taylor and county staff presented a proposal for Madison County to host the City of Richmond’s GIS data in the county’s standardized database, arguing it would improve emergency response accuracy, meet NextGen 9‑1‑1 data standards and reduce duplicative effort. County staff said Richmond would retain its employees and input its own data into the hosted system under agreed parameters.

The presentation, led by Chris (county staff) with technical examples from Austin (GIS coordinator), laid out what GIS comprises—hardware, software, data and people—and walked the fiscal court through local examples where mismatched or out-of-date data has routed responders to incorrect locations. “We wanted to put together a little presentation to show you all so that it would give you all the opportunity to make the right decision,” Judge Taylor said when introducing the topic.

County staff described the technical and operational benefits of a single hosted database: live Esri REST services that allow computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems and mobile data terminals to pull current address points and road centerlines directly from the source, enforcement of required address and attribute fields, and the ability to align city and county map endpoints so roads and intersections resolve consistently in dispatch systems. Staff warned that periodic file-sharing (shapefile exchanges) has frequently produced incomplete, out-of-date or misaligned records and that meeting Kentucky’s NextGen 9‑1‑1 roadmap and 9‑1‑1 board requirements is contingent on clean, standardized data.

Austin demonstrated map mismatches: address-range overlaps, non‑intersecting road centerlines where city and county datasets did not align, and examples that county staff said had caused ambulances to travel past incidents. Staff said the county’s data center—hosted in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)—would store the authoritative dataset, while Richmond employees would continue to work from city facilities and enter edits into the hosted database. Staff estimated Richmond’s share would be small (presented as roughly $4,000–$6,000 annually) and said the arrangement would reduce cost and staff time overall.

Multiple fiscal court members and elected officials supported the proposal on public-safety and efficiency grounds. Several speakers emphasized the county’s need to remain compliant with NextGen 9‑1‑1 standards to continue receiving CMRS-type 9‑1‑1 funds. Concerns raised by members centered on data quality controls; county staff said parameters and validation rules would be added so Richmond could not save entries that lacked required fields.

No formal vote was taken. Judge Taylor asked staff to return a resolution for formal consideration at the court’s next meeting; the court agreed to place the item on the next agenda.","County staff urged the fiscal court to consider a memorandum of agreement to host the city of Richmond's geographic information system (GIS) data in the county's standardized database to improve 9-1-1 accuracy, meet NextGen 9‑1‑1 requirements and reduce long-term costs; court agreed to bring a resolution back at the next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
