Seward County E‑911 director presents FY26‑27 local budget; council hears interlocal split
Summary
Seward County E‑911 director presented the proposed FY26‑27 budget, citing higher communications and insurance costs and a drop in legacy fund balance; staff explained the city will cover 33% under the interlocal agreement and council moved the item forward.
Mariah, identified in the record as the Seward County E‑911 director, presented the agency's proposed FY26‑27 local budget and explained several reasons for increases in line items. She said she had to place the Motorola contract into the regular budget line for communications rental and equipment after legacy funds were drawn down; "that account now is down to $890 and some change," she said. The director also noted a county health-insurance increase and a county-approved cost-of-living adjustment and up-to-2% staff wage increase.
City staff explained the interlocal budgeting process for E‑911 and said the city of Seward's share will be 33% after netting carryover funds and reserves. Council members discussed prior-year carryforward figures and how the net budget will be divided under the interlocal agreement; the council moved and seconded the budget item and the chair called for votes to be displayed.
