Council approves additional appropriations for EMS telephone and E911 desk replacements
Summary
Council approved additional appropriations to cover EMS telephone expenses and to replace E911 station desks (six stations), with carpeting and some furniture to be paid from a nonreverting fund where possible.
The council approved additional appropriations to cover EMS telephone costs and to replace desks at the county E911 stations.
Discussion focused on whether the request covered only desks (the desks were listed at about $165,000) and whether carpeting (estimated near $9,000) would be charged to a different account. Staff said the nonreverting fund (49-11) had just over $100,000 and could contribute toward the purchase but might not fully cover the total. After clarifying which fund would pay which items, a council member moved to approve the appropriation; the motion was seconded and the chair announced that the motion carries.
Staff advised how to code future claims to ensure payment comes from the correct fund and agreed to follow up with the auditor/treasurer as needed.
