Roanoke Rapids City Council is expected to revisit the Halifax County 911 Center funding issue Tuesday after notice of a special meeting was issued Wednesday.

The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Lloyd Andrews City Meeting Hall on Jackson Street.

The first agenda item after a call to order is consideration of the 911 center agreement, which county commissioners amended at their meeting Monday.

The other item on the agenda is a closed session to discuss personnel matters.

City Attorney Geoffrey Davis said the focus of the 911 center portion of the meeting currently is so the council can discuss the matter.

Roanoke Rapids City Council last week rejected the initial proposal.

On Monday commissioners amended the agreement to where it addresses shortfalls and overages for the cost of 911 center personnel in a given fiscal year.

The amendment states if there is a shortfall of budgeted revenues for the cost of personnel in a given fiscal year the municipalities would be required to remit additional funding to cover the deficit.

If there is a surplus, then the county would remit the overage back to the municipal governments.

The same percentages used to determine the initial level of funding will apply to the shortfalls and overages, the amendment says.

Those shortfalls and overages will be determined by the county finance director on or before July 31 following the end of the fiscal year and invoices for shortfalls or refunds of the overages will be made on or before August 15 following the end of the fiscal year.
