Commissioners approve consent agenda including $306,400 court-security grant and 9-1-1 funding

Administrator Bennett presented three items on the consent agenda: acceptance of a fiscal-year 2027 court-security officer support grant in the amount of $306,400 to support sheriff's office staffing at the circuit court; acceptance of $54,825 from the Maryland 9-1-1 board for Next Gen Geospatial Core Services; and acceptance of $22,972 from the 9-1-1 board for gate repairs at the county facility.

The consent agenda was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Bennett said the court-security funds will be applied to salaries and staffing needs at the circuit court and that the 9-1-1 awards will support geospatial services and needed facility repairs.
