Committee hears staff report on $59,000 9-1-1 maintenance appropriation
Summary
Emergency Operations requested $59,000 from the 9-1-1 fund to cover ongoing maintenance costs after a major technology upgrade; staff said the fund balance is about $3.2 million and that future budgets will include a maintenance line item. No vote on the ordinance is recorded in the transcript.
The Finance Committee reviewed an ordinance to amend the FY25 budget by appropriating $59,000 from the borough's 9-1-1 fund balance to pay remaining maintenance costs for the 9-1-1 system.
Mr. Miller and Mr. Butcher of Emergency Operations reported the borough completed a major 9-1-1 technology upgrade that went live in April. During the capital project the support-and-maintenance line item had been omitted from the operating budget. "Dollars 59,000 will pay the remainder of that service contract," Mr. Miller said, noting the administration covered $25,000 of the cost from remaining project funds and is now requesting the balance from the 9-1-1 fund.
Staff told the committee the 9-1-1 fund currently holds about $3,200,000 and that a line item to cover ongoing maintenance will be included in an upcoming budget submission. The transcript records the staff report and a brief question period but does not record any formal committee action or vote on the appropriation in the provided text.
