Statewide 911 Advisory Board Meeting
The board discussed several operational and administrative topics, including a legislative update regarding the veto calendar and status updates on Next Generation 911 (NG 911) projects, such as communication center cutovers and GIS standard migration. There was a detailed discussion on the Telecommunicator and Telecommunicator Supervisor training certification program and the implementation progress of SESSA. The board also debated whether the 'Drone as First Responder' program constitutes an allowable expenditure of surcharge funds, with members expressing concerns about its current classification and the need for further evaluation. Finally, the board addressed fiscal year 2028 grant topics, specifically emphasizing the need for sustainable, long-term funding models for GIS rather than relying solely on the grant process.
