New officers for Carroll County E911 were elected at a Dec. 15 virtual meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vice Chairman Willie Huffman will assume the position of chairman to succeed chairman Andy Dickson. Other officers elected were: vice chairman, Max Anderson; treasurer, Larry Elliott; and secretary, Roger Christian, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Board members agreed on amounts for Christmas bonuses for dispatchers. Anderson\u2019s motion to give part-time dispatchers $50 each and full-time dispatchers $100 each passed. The motion included Security\/Medicare payments so dispatchers would receive the full amount of the bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The $800 each Christmas bonuses for E911 director Kristy Meggs and secretary Crystal Sullivan were included in the 2020-2021 budget and did not have to be voted on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two budget amendments were passed. Some $500 in expenses for software licenses were added to that line item. The line item for consulting services was increased by $6,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meggs advised board members that auditor Godwin & Associates had completed their portion of the E911audit with no findings for the year ending 2020. It has now been forwarded to the Tenn. Comptroller\u2019s Office for final review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also said that text -2-9-1-1- has been tested during the later part of the Dec. 6 week. Equipment at PSAP was ready to accept text -2-9-1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cE911 is still waiting on approval from FCC and will move forward with testing from individual carriers,\u201d said Meggs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
