Item 43 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This authorizes an interlocal agreement with Travis County Emergency Service District 4 so Austin Fire gets paid for the fire protection it already provides inside ESD 4's boundaries. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes deal that keeps engines rolling across jurisdictional lines without either side eating the cost. An estimated $5,400,000 is reimbursed to Austin Fire's Fiscal Year 2027-2028 Operating Budget.
