911 Communications Board

The Fayette County 911 Communications Board was created by ordinance to formulate the polices and oversee the operations of the consolidated 911 communications center.  The board is created specifically for the purpose of overseeing the operations of the consolidated 911 center, exclusive of personnel matters. This in no way is to be construed as creating a communications authority.

The Fayette County 911 Communications Board was created in October 1995 with an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that lasted for 5 years and would automatically renew unless one of the participating agencies wished to withdraw.  In July 2011, a new 10-year IGA was established, allowing for automatic renewals for a period of 50 years.  The Board meets quarterly, as set forth in the IGA, to discuss any operational concerns and recommend updates or changes.
