Item 8 Passed 9-0

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This sets up a formal mutual-aid agreement letting Austin-Travis County EMS automatically share emergency medical response with Georgetown, Travis County, Williamson County, and the Lago Vista and Pflugerville fire districts. The idea is that when a 911 call comes in near a jurisdictional line, the closest available crew responds regardless of which agency they work for. The item is listed as having no fiscal impact.

The official agenda language

Authorize negotiation and execution of an interlocal agreement with the City of Georgetown, Travis County, Travis County Emergency Services District No. 1 (Lago Vista Fire Department), Travis County Emergency Services District No. 2 (Pflugerville Fire Department), and Williamson County to establish the provision and receipt of emergency medical services automatic aid by Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact.
