Summary
County staff described a budget amendment to move 911 grant receipts and expenditures into the dedicated 911 fund for record-keeping; the upgrade project is funded and expected to go live in August–September next year, staff said.
County staff explained a consent-item budget amendment that would reclassify previously anticipated grant receipts and corresponding expenditures for the county’s new 911 system into the 911 fund rather than the general fund, a record-keeping change required by grant terms.
Eric told commissioners the change is administrative: the same amount of money is recorded, but the grant’s revenues and expenditures will be posted to the 911 fund to comply with the grant. Commissioners asked whether the upgrade is complete; Eric said the project is funded and in process and that funding is provided for the scope of the work.
Jessica said the county expects the computer-aided dispatch (CAD) upgrade and related work to go fully live in August–September next year and that several steps remain before the system is fully implemented. "We have upgraded our existing system, so it is functioning properly and well," Jessica said; the full CAD go-live is scheduled roughly August–September next year.
No formal vote on the consent item is recorded in the transcript; the item was discussed as part of the consent/agenda review.
