Emergency Management Communications District Board approves proposed 2025–26 budget

The Emergency Management Communications District Board approved its proposed 2025–26 budget at a brief special-call meeting, carrying the motion by voice vote with no public comment. The meeting record shows a motion to approve, a second, and a voice vote in which participants said "aye," after which a speaker said, "Alright. Motion carries." The transcript does not record any line-item amounts, budget totals, or discussion of changes to the proposal.

The vote occurred after an announcement asking for public comment on the proposed budget; the announcement noted no one was present to comment. Board members proceeded directly to new business, and the motion to approve the budget was made and seconded before the vote. The transcript does not identify which board member moved or seconded the motion nor provide an individual roll-call tally; the approval is recorded as carried by voice vote.

There was no recorded debate on budget priorities, spending categories, or funding sources during the excerpted meeting. The board moved on afterward to a separate item regarding annual certification to the Alabama 9-1-1 Board and then adjourned.

The transcript does not specify when the budget takes effect beyond the fiscal year referenced in meeting items (the related certification item covers the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2026).
