Art. 9. RPC Emergency Funding 9.1 The Commission may provide appropriated funds to the RPC upon demonstration and documentation that a financial emergency exists that will compromise the 9-1-1 system or impact public safety. 9.2 The Commission shall consider a financial emergency as a situation in which the RPC requires additional funding to sustain the current and normal operation of 9-1-1 systems and their administration, as well as to meet contractual obligations as provided for in their approved strategic plan; and that, without the assistance of these additional funds, would result in a compromise of the 9-1-1 system or impact public safety. A financial emergency would arise, and public safety compromised, if the 9-1-1 system was terminated due to non-payment of InVOices. 9.3 Emergency funds may be distributed based upon the documented expenditures creating the need. The provision of emergency funds will be used for specific operational and administrative expenses identified in the supporting documentation. 9.4 The request shall include a narrative description of what the funds are to be used for, and how these expenditures relate to their strategic plan. 9.5 The Commission will review the request for accuracy and compliance with the current approved strategic plan and Commission policy.
