County Administration, Regional Emergency Services and Communications, Office of Public Communications: $816,100 transfer from the General Fund is appropriated for the replacement of the Voice Recording System at the Regional and Non-Regional public safety answering points ($665,800) and Uninterruptible Power Supply Replacement at the Emergency Operations Center ($150,300).

Additionally, the $28,000,000 that was transferred out of the Convention Center Expansion Debt Service into the pay-as-you-go portion of the Convention Center Expansion in the Fiscal Year 20 1st Supplemental is transferred back and as a result of the forecasted decline in tourist tax revenues, the budget for the Convention Center Expansion Debt Service is reduced <$21,788,520>.
