Committee approves transfer from E911 reserve to buy 9‑1‑1 equipment
Summary
The Allegany County Public Safety Committee approved a transfer from the E911 reserve account to allow purchase of needed 9‑1‑1 equipment; officials said the transfer fills a funding gap and had treasurer and sheriff's office sign‑off.
The Allegany County Public Safety Committee voted on Dec. 10 to authorize a transfer from the county’s E911 reserve account to purchase needed 9‑1‑1 equipment.
A presenter told the committee the transfer request had been approved by the presenter's office and by the treasurer’s office and the sheriff’s office. “We are looking for a transfer from the E911 reserve account to allow for a purchase of needed equipment for 09/11,” the presenter said. Committee members asked whether the move imposed any additional cost on the county; the presenter said there had been a funding gap and that reserve funds were needed to match additional costs.
Sheriff Scott Cicero was named by the chair during the item, and committee members voted by voice to carry the motion. The transcript does not record a roll‑call vote or a numerical tally of yes/no votes.
Next steps: staff may complete procurement steps to buy the equipment once the transfer is processed; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts or procurement timelines.
