Fee Review & Appeal Process
The Kansas State 911 Board fee report from each PSAP is reviewed annually. PSAPs may be asked for clarification of a 911 expenditure. 911 expenditures that are found to be non-compliant will need to be paid back to the PSAPs 911 account with money from their general fund. A journal entry documenting the fund transfer will need to be emailed to the 911 Liaison. Upon final review of the expenditures, each PSAP will be sent a notification that their PSAP has successfully completed the yearly report.
In the event the PSAP disagrees with the findings, they may appeal the request to pay back their 911 account. The Appeals Process outlines the procedures.
