Summary
Following executive‑session negotiations, the court authorized county officials to submit a counteroffer to the City of Eagle Pass on fire and EMS service terms, with the goal of resolving payment prior to Oct. 1.
The Maverick County Commissioners Court on Aug. 15 authorized county officials to continue negotiations and to submit a counteroffer to the City of Eagle Pass regarding fire and EMS services. The presiding official said the county received an additional offer from the city, the court made modifications, and the county plans to submit a counteroffer to resolve payment before Oct. 1.
