Information
Agenda Item
Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action to approve the First Amended and Restated Emergency Service Organizations Agreement between Williamson County and the identified Emergency Service Organizations to ensure all the parties are treated equally while providing emergency services that are needed by individuals in the county. Williamson County and the Emergency Service Organizations agree to establish minimum services that must be provided by each agency.
Background
Williamson County Emergency Services worked with the Commissioner Court's Counsel to update the Emergency Service Organizations Agreement. Some of the highlights in this amended and restated agreement include:
- Updated Emergency Service Organizations
- Added Wildland Firefighting to services provided by the Emergency Service Organizations since this is typically the type of emergency where all the fire departments participate.
- Updated the language in the Prevention and Investigation section since the Williamson County Fire Marshal's Office is now in place.
- Effective date is January 31, 2023. It took considerable time to get the signatures from the different entities.
- Section J provides the County a Right to Audit to ensure proper use of funding and Section K relates to Corporate and Tax Documents that allows the County to request corporate or business organization documents that are not an emergency services district (ESD) and appropriate tax filings.
