Department staff presented two out-of-state travel requests and commissioners voted to approve both. The first request was for Dispatcher Amanda Mountford to attend the APCO Atlantic Chapter conference in Mystic, Connecticut, Nov. 16 Nov. 19, with a listed total cost of $749 for tuition; staff said Mountford will present "a dispatcher's guide to hot calls" at the conference. The second request was for travel to the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in Denver in October; the presenter said the trip includes leadership tracks and a mandatory meeting for an IACP committee the attendee serves on.

Commissioner Davis made the motion to approve the two out-of-state conference requests; Commissioner Mello seconded the motion. The commissioners voted "Aye," and the travel requests "pass[ed] unanimously," according to the meeting record.

The approvals were recorded as routine authorizations of staff travel; no additional funding details beyond the $749 tuition figure for the APCO trip were provided in the meeting record.
