Commission approves revised 9-1-1 agreement with city, adds seats and reimbursement changes

County staff presented a revised interlocal agreement for operation of the county’s 9-1-1 service that incorporated changes requested by the city, including increasing the membership to nine people, adding the fire chief and a member of the city council’s finance committee, and allowing the mayor to designate a substitute. Staff also described edits to how reimbursements would be handled and additions to a funding subsection (recorded in the transcript as changes to "section 15").

Commissioners asked whether the county or the city council would appoint certain representatives; staff clarified the language applies to commissioners’ own appointments rather than changing the council’s appointment authority. After discussion, the measure was moved by an individual recorded as Eric and seconded by Tracy; the Chair called the ayes and said, “Motion carries.”
