The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing In the amount of $1,100,000.00 to consider a
budget extension request from the Multi Agency Communication Center (MACC) (Fund 135.186) to
support the current dispatch expenses as well as budget overages for previous years.
Christal White, Financial Services Manager of MACC, gave a brief description of their request. The office
is making technology upgrades with the money in the tax account. They have upgraded their phone
systems, but still need to update their Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and radio systems. The upgrades
will allow MACC to handle the work with lower staff in the office. The original budget was $2.5 million
and they have spent $1.75 million through June; all spending was approved through the board.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jones, seconded by. Commissioner Stone, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously. A motion was made by
Commissioner Stone to approve the budget extension as presented. Commissioner Jones seconded and
the motion passed unanimously. The hearing adjourned.
