Commission moves $200,000 to support 9‑1‑1 payroll, staff signals possible fee changes
Summary
County staff reported a payroll cash‑flow shortfall in the 9‑1‑1 center and presented a budget revision moving $200,000 from general contractual services to Fund 19A to cover near‑term payroll; staff said an ordinance or fee increase may be proposed in December.
County staff told commissioners that Fund 19A, which supports payroll and operations at the 9‑1‑1 center, was facing a shortfall and recommended an internal budget transfer to cover wages.
"You currently, as of Monday, had $118,917 in that account. Your biweekly payroll was $133,000," staff said, noting the timing of pay cycles would create a cash‑flow gap. To prevent missed payroll and maintain operations, staff said one purchase‑order action was moving $200,000 from the general county contractual services line into contributions to Fund 19A.
The staff presentation said the county plans to present a modification to an existing ordinance in December and seek direction to schedule a public hearing to consider raising related fees, should commissioners choose that route.
The $200,000 transfer was included within the consent agenda, which was approved by the commission by voice vote. Commissioners requested additional detail on longer‑term revenue or fee options before taking further action.
