Emergency 911 has presented its request for funding to Warren County government.“Our request for allocation is the same as last year, $145,000,” said E911 director Chuck Haston. “Our overall budget is about the same, maybe a little less than last year. We’re on a fixed income and that will be the case until we can get the legislature to look at things our way, but we’re making some progress there.”The request for funding for the upcoming fiscal year of 2017-18 was made to county Safety Committee members.E911 is funded by landline and cellphone customers, as well as annual donations by city and county government.“We are a utility by law but we are the only utility I know of whose rates are capped,” Haston said.
