Town and Country authorizes termination notice to Central County E‑911; alderman says change saves roughly $10,000 annually
Summary
The Board approved Resolution R08‑2025 to let the city administrator provide termination notice on the agreement with Central County E‑911; Alderman Gonzalo said switching payment arrangements ties West County EMS’s dispatching price increases to a lower index and will save the city about $10,000 per year.
The Board of Aldermen on June 23 approved Resolution R08‑2025 authorizing the city administrator to provide termination notice on the agreement between Central County E‑911 and the City of Town and Country.
Alderman Gonzalo praised staff for arranging to have West County EMS bill directly for dispatching services and said the change limits annual price increases to 3.5% per year rather than a 3.7% schedule the city otherwise faced; he estimated the new arrangement would save the city roughly $10,000 annually.
The resolution directs the city administrator to proceed with termination notice as part of the administrative change in the dispatching contract. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution; no members of the public spoke on the matter.
City staff did not provide a detailed schedule of next steps in the meeting transcript beyond the authorization to serve notice; follow‑up action will be administrative implementation by the city administrator and relevant public‑safety partners.
