Pendleton County readies NextGen 911 installation; amended ordinance to take effect July 1
Summary
Emergency Services Coordinator Rick Gillespie said NextGen 911 equipment passed a performance milestone and installation is scheduled to be completed by July 1, 2026; he will send an amended 911 ordinance to fee‑collecting companies and said a pending legislative bill could change 911 funding rules.
Emergency Services Coordinator Rick Gillespie reported to the Pendleton County Commission that the county’s NextGen 911 equipment recently passed a performance milestone and staff plan to complete installation by July 1, 2026.
Gillespie said he is preparing to send an amended 911 ordinance to companies that collect the county 911 fee; the amended ordinance is effective July 1, 2026. He told commissioners that a bill currently in the West Virginia Legislature could change how 911 funding is derived statewide and that, if enacted, it might alter the county’s approach or the ordinance’s provisions.
The record shows the Commission received the update; the minutes do not record a separate vote adopting a change to funding or the ordinance at this meeting. The timeline places the installation completion target and ordinance effective date at July 1, 2026.
