Hamilton County commissioners heard budget presentations from the Chattanooga Tourism Company and the Hamilton County 9-1-1 district. Tourism requested $10,084,977 (85% of projected lodging- tax collections) and discussed marketing strategy and tax-sharing talks with the city; 9-1-1 outlined a multi-year pay plan to address 25–30% staffing vacancies and asked the county to fund a stepped increase starting FY27.
