Summary

County officials noted the Authority selected Ellaville as the regional E‑911 center; commissioners authorized fee forwarding for E‑911 surcharges and passed a resolution guaranteeing part of a short‑term loan to cover start‑up costs.

Middle Flint Regional E‑911 Authority matters appeared repeatedly in 2003 minutes. In March EMA Director Kenny Calhoun reported the Authority had selected Ellaville as the site for the new regional E‑911 center and that telephone surcharges of $1.50 per month for landlines and $1.00 per month for wireless lines were expected to appear on bills in April.

At the July 3 meeting the Board approved a resolution guaranteeing up to 14 percent of a $250,000 short‑term loan the Authority sought to cover initial operating costs. The Board authorized the appropriate county officials to execute the guarantee documents. On later meetings the Board also authorized telephone companies to forward the E‑911 surcharges directly to the Authority rather than through member counties.

The actions recorded in the minutes were: site selection reported by Authority staff, authorization to adjust billing routing for the surcharge, and a county guarantee resolution to assist the Authority’s initial borrowing until its own credit standing is established.
