Commissioners approve MOU to assist Paisano Volunteer Fire Department with helipad site prep
Summary
The court authorized a memorandum of understanding to assist the Paisano Volunteer Fire Department with site preparation for a helicopter pad at the Campbellton Community Center property; minutes note the property is owned by the fire department.
The Atascosa County Commissioners Court approved a memorandum of understanding on May 27 to provide assistance with site preparation for a helicopter pad involving the Paisano Volunteer Fire Department and the Campbellton Community Center.
The agenda item identified a memorandum between Atascosa County, Paisano Volunteer Fire Department and the Campbellton Community Center to assist with site preparation. A commissioner corrected the minutes to note the property is owned by the Paisano Volunteer Fire Department, not the community center. The county attorney—s approval of the memorandum was discussed; the minutes indicate county-attorney review preceded the motion.
Commissioner Riley moved for approval; Commissioner Pavelic seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: assistance with a helicopter landing site may improve emergency response capabilities in parts of the county.
What—s next: County staff will implement the MOU tasks as agreed; the county attorney and departments will follow up to finalize details recorded in the memorandum.
