Webster County 9-1-1 coordinator warns of E-9-1-1 fund shortfall after state surcharge changes
Summary
Communications Director Brian Hitchcock said the county faces a projected E-9-1-1 fund deficit after the state shifted more of the cellular surcharge to itself; anticipated revenue of $345,000 versus expenses of $416,000 leaves a $71,000 shortfall, and long-term bond and system payments reduce fund flexibility.
Brian Hitchcock, communications director and E-9-1-1 coordinator for the Webster County Sheriff's Office, told supervisors the E-9-1-1 fund faces a near-term shortfall after the state increased its share of the cellular surcharge and reassigned certain fees to counties. Hitchcock said the state's changes amount to roughly $36,000 less revenue for the county this year, and that other earlier reserve distributions the county counted on were retained by the state.
