IT corrects 911 accounting entry, seeks $195,000 amendment for backup‑site peripherals
Summary
Cabarrus County IT informed commissioners it needs a technical budget correction to move $750,000 out of an incorrect account related to a Motorola contract for CAD/RMS/jail systems, and also requested a $195,000 amendment to account for peripherals at a backup 911 site.
Todd Shanley, head of IT, told commissioners the county mistakenly recorded roughly $750,000 in the wrong 9‑1‑1 account when contracting with Motorola for the county’s new CAD, RMS and jail system. Shanley said the amendment would move those funds back into the proper 9‑1‑1 fund so the county can pursue additional grants.
Nut graf: The $750,000 movement is a technical accounting correction tied to 9‑1‑1 surcharge funds distributed by the state. Shanley said correcting the fund balance will restore the county’s ability to apply for other grant opportunities.
Shanley also presented a separate budget amendment of approximately $195,000 for peripherals purchased at a backup 9‑1‑1 site. The county operates a backup site built to seat eight positions for Concord, Kannapolis and Rowan County; the state recognizes six positions for reimbursement, so the county is responsible for the additional two positions. Shanley said the $195,000 will be taken from IT peripherals accounts to reflect eligible 9‑1‑1 expenditures.
Ending: Commissioners asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the work session; staff presented both items as technical corrections to be handled through budget amendments.
