County's 911 fund set to spend more than it takes in next year
Who it touches: This affects everyone who calls 911 in Vigo County, since this fund pays to keep the emergency phone system running.
The county's Emergency Telephone Service (911) fund expects to bring in $622,236 next year but is requesting a budget of $711,193, so it will dip into its cash reserves to cover the roughly $89,000 gap.
Separately, a new 911 call recorder — replacing one that is 15 years old — will be paid for by the state, not out of this fund.
