The 9-1-1 Services Enterprise board on Thursday scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday the 13th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM to complete work on an amended budget and finish negotiating a contract with the Colorado 911 Resource Center.
The timing and scope of the Resource Center contract were the central issues. The board discussed several start-date options — May 1, June 1 or July 1 — and whether to extend the contract through December 2027 or keep it to a single fiscal year. Daryl, the telecom programs section chief for the State of Colorado, described the likely funding level as "$200,000 a year" with an additional potential $50,000 contingency and noted that prorating might be appropriate given later-than-expected revenue collections.
"It was meant for 1 year's worth," Daryl said when board members asked whether the initial $200,000 allocation covered a single year. He also urged the board to coordinate contract dates with the state's fiscal calendar and DORA guidance.
Board members debated whether the enterprise should switch from a calendar year to the state fiscal year (ending June 30) to make reporting to state agencies simpler. Matt, a board member, said a prorated contract for the remainder of 2026 could keep year-to-year comparisons cleaner, while others noted that aligning to the state fiscal year would require bylaw and reporting adjustments.
The contract's signature block and representatives were also discussed. The board asked whether the Resource Center would want Connie, the executive director, or Jeff, the organization’s other listed contact, to sign. Daryl offered to check with the state's contracting officer about adding an enterprise signature line for the board president if the boilerplate would allow it.
Board legal review and next steps were set: Kirsten agreed to undertake a closer legal review of the draft contract, staff will incorporate the board's redlines, and Daryl will coordinate with DORA contracting. The board also set a target of completing the related budget amendments so the document can be submitted by the statutory deadline.
The special meeting is intended to cover: the amended budget (to reflect collections and proposed FY27 figures), contract edits and signatory lines, and proposed bylaw changes to shift the board's calendar to the state fiscal year. The board’s next regular meeting remains scheduled for June 3.
The enterprise obtains funding from the 9-1-1 enterprise fee; as Daryl noted in the meeting, "Funds in the 9 1 1 services enterprise cash fund are expended as directed by the enterprise." The board did not vote on the contract during this meeting; members agreed further edits and legal review were required before any formal approval.
