Sumner County ECC board reallocates website funds, accepts audit and moves $1 million to money market
Summary
Board approved reallocating $25,000 toward a new ECC/ECD information website, accepted the FY25 audit with no findings, authorized transferring $1,000,000 from checking into a money market account, and approved repurposing surplus equipment for EMA.
At the meeting the Sumner County Emergency Communications District board approved several finance and administrative items, including a reallocation of website funds, acceptance of the FY25 audit, repurposing surplus equipment to the county EMA, and a $1,000,000 funds transfer to a money market account.
During the financial report, finance staff (referred to in the meeting as Miss Carolyn) directed members to the balance-sheet detail and reported the LGIP account balance at $873,000 and recent interest earnings of roughly $21,000 for the November–December period. The director noted overall district funds "are looking good in the bank." The board then voted to approve the financial report by voice vote.
On website funding, the ECC director said staff initially requested $40,000 for a site that would have included limited CAD information; after consultation with chiefs and department heads, only two agencies requested CAD access, so the director proposed reallocating $25,000 to a combined ECC/ECD information and hiring/call-volume site. The board approved reallocating the funds by voice vote.
The FY25 audit was presented and reported to have no findings; the board approved the audit without objection. The board also approved repurposing decommissioned equipment for the county EMA to support radio-system backups rather than auctioning or destroying the items.
Finally, the director asked to move $1,000,000 from the Ball State checking account into the money market to take advantage of higher interest; the board approved the transfer by voice vote. The board set its next meeting for March 9 and discussed an approximate 2% COLA projection as a starting point for the upcoming budget, with revenue projections still under review.
