Commissioners approve interlocal agreement for 9-1-1 service with COG; clerk to receive copy

Callahan County Commissioners Court voted July 28 to approve an interlocal agreement renewing county participation in the E-9-1-1 public safety answering point administered by the regional council of governments (COG). The packet included a lengthy agreement that must be renewed biennially, the court was told. Commissioners asked who should sign—the sheriff’s office or the county judge—and moved that the county judge sign the document. Commissioner Farmer moved for approval with the county judge signing; Commissioner Windham seconded and the court approved the agreement. Because the agreement contains technical and cybersecurity provisions that interface with county networks, county IT staff requested a copy for review. The court agreed that the document was public information and that staff would receive a copy to assess any county commitments tied to technology or cybersecurity.
