VRECC Board Convenes Feb. 26 to Review Draft FY2027 Budget Posted Online

VRECC board members convened in Valencia County on Feb. 26, 2026, to review a draft fiscal year 2027 budget that is publicly posted on the Valencia Regional Emergency Communications Center website and lists Total VRECC Fund Revenues of $5,549,336 for the year ending June 30, 2027. Agendas for the meeting were published the week of Feb. 23–26 and identified the FY2027 budget as a key agenda item.

The draft budget excerpt shows Gross Receipts Taxes: E-911 (account 207-00-32420) as $2,880,000 for FY27, up from $2,760,000 in FY26 and below FY25’s $3,182,947. The E-911 Program Grant (207-00-37300) is listed at $119,800 for FY27, compared with $32,900 in FY26 and $26,540 in FY25.

Charges for Services constitute $2,549,336 of FY27 revenue in the posted document. The line-item breakdown in the excerpt lists E-911 Services: Bosque Farms (207-00-34310) $106,645; Peralta (207-00-34320) $82,167; Valencia Co. (207-00-34330, label truncated in the excerpt) $773,719; AMR (207-00-34340) $236,127; Rio Communities (207-00-34350) $107,562; City of Belen (207-00-34360) $395,375; and Los Lunas (207-00-34370) $847,741. The posted spreadsheet shows Charges for Services rising from $2,087,359 in FY26 to $2,549,336 in FY27.

On the expense side the draft lists personnel and operating items. Salaries: Full-Time Positions (207-00-41020) appear as $2,304,827 for FY27, with Salaries: Overtime (207-00-41050) $250,000 and Salaries: Other Wages (207-00-41055) $6,500. The excerpt includes a truncated line showing “Total Salaries and [...] 202,500 277,580” and does not supply a complete total compensation line in the supplied text.

Supply and operating expense lines in the posted FY27 excerpt include Total Supplies $80,000 with Office Supplies (207-00-46010) $15,000 and Non-Capital Equipment/Furniture/Fixtures (207-00-46020) $60,000. Operating costs shown in the excerpt include Employee Training (207-00-47040) $51,000, Utilities (207-00-47160) $46,000, Telephone/Internet (207-00-47150) $43,000, and Insurance Premiums (207-00-47060) $35,000. Janitorial Supplies (207-00-47017) are listed at $11,000 and Dues and Subscriptions (207-00-47140) at $8,000 for FY27.

The public posting and the Original Report available to this newsroom contain truncated passages. The budget excerpt preserves the label “207-00-34330 E-911 Services: Valencia Co. [...]” and the fragment “Total Salaries and [...] 202,500 277,580,” and the Original Report itself ends mid-sentence with “and lo.” The posted spreadsheet stops after Insurance Premiums in the supplied excerpt and does not show a full Total Expenses or net position for FY27 in the material reviewed.

The Feb. 26 agenda explicitly listed the FY2027 budget for board consideration and the draft FY2027 budget documents are available on VRECC’s site, but the excerpt reviewed here does not resolve whether the board approved the budget at that meeting. Further clarity requires the full FY2027 budget PDF or the official Feb. 26, 2026 meeting minutes to confirm approval status, reconcile truncated lines, and disclose any additional capital or one-time expenditures not included in the supplied excerpt.
