ADA: current statute limits Lincoln County’s options to dissolve E-911 Trust Authority
Summary
ADA Stacy Bateman Woods told commissioners that the statute originally used to create the E-911 Trust Authority was appealed and under the new law the county lacks the authority to dissolve the Trust by public vote; options appear limited to an anonymous board vote or seeking judicial relief. The board took no action.
ADA Stacy Bateman Woods told the board she had researched options for dissolving the E-911 Trust Authority and that the statute originally relied on had been appealed. She said the newer statute limits the county’s options: the only available routes appear to be an anonymous vote of the 911 Trust board or taking the matter before a judge who could order changes. She said she had contacted the State Board for additional guidance but had not received a response.
Commissioners recorded the update and did not take action to place the E-911 Trust Authority on the ballot or pursue a legal challenge during the special meeting. The matter remains open pending further information from state officials or legal counsel.
