Houston City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the West Jackson Fire Department on Aug. 21, council members said.
Council members discussed the IGA briefly, noting the agreement was brought forward after prior discussion and that it is a one‑time arrangement. One council member asked, "This is a one time one time deal. Right?" and received confirmation during the discussion.
A council member moved to approve the IGA; another council member seconded the motion and the council voted to approve the agreement. The council stated that the IGA language and details were included in the meeting packet.
The transcript does not specify the IGA's dollar amounts or operational terms; council members referenced the packet for details and indicated the IGA is not an annual commitment.
