County Council - Sep 15, 2026
The county is borrowing up to $120 million to replace nearly 7,000 9-1-1 radios from 2009 that can no longer be repaired, buy public safety vehicles and equipment, and cover unexpected capital needs. This keeps emergency communications working for police, fire, and EMS responders.
