Perry approves interlocal agreement for enhanced E‑911 service with Noble County
Summary
The council approved an interlocal cooperation agreement to participate in an enhanced Noble County E‑911 board, projecting revenue increases and a county contribution to expenses; the agreement moves equipment ownership and some governance to the board.
The City Council voted to enter an interlocal cooperation agreement with the Noble County enhanced E‑911 board to provide enhanced E‑911 services regionally. City Manager Nate explained the agreement creates a governing board to approve invoices, budget amendments and equipment upgrades related to the service.
Nate said staff expect a significant revenue increase under the arrangement: “We’re thinking about 67%” more revenues, and he added that the county has agreed to pay roughly 40% of expenses. Council members said the interlocal arrangement resolves longstanding operational issues and shared oversight responsibilities.
Why it matters: The interlocal agreement shifts certain equipment ownership and budget decisions to the regional board, which could change how E‑911 revenues and costs are allocated and how upgrades are approved. Supporters said the agreement closes a longstanding “blight” and should increase revenues for the service.
Council action: After discussion, the council moved and approved the interlocal agreement on a roll-call vote. Staff will notify the Noble County board and coordinate next steps.
