During a council agenda item, members considered a budget transfer of $16,080 for 911 operations from a supervision/wages line to equipment. Council members said the supervision line had available funds despite overtime pressures in the department. A motion was made, seconded and the council approved the transfer by voice vote; no roll-call votes were recorded.

The transfer was described as internal budget housekeeping to move available salary savings to equipment needs for the 911 center. Council indicated the item had been advertised previously but had not made the prior council meeting.

Next steps: staff will process the transfer in the county accounting system and notify 911 leadership.
