Vigo County 911 Fund (Emergency Telephone Service)

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.
