Dickson County approves interlocal agreement to handle 9-1-1 payroll duties

Dickson County commissioners voted Dec. 15 to approve an interlocal agreement that assigns the county to perform payroll duties for the 9-1-1 board director, with reimbursement to come from the 9-1-1 board.

The measure, which the presiding speaker introduced as "the 9 1 1 interlocal agreement," was moved by Commissioner Petty and seconded by Commissioner Gray. The chair called for the customary voice vote; commissioners responded "aye" and the motion carried.

Under the agreement as described to the commission, county staff will take on all payroll responsibilities for the 9-1-1 board director position and the 9-1-1 board will reimburse the county for those payroll costs. No additional budget figures or implementation timeline were provided during the meeting.

Commissioners did not record a roll-call vote or provide a tally of how each member voted in the transcript; the motion was approved by voice vote as documented. The agreement was presented as an administrative interlocal contract to streamline payroll administration and reimbursement between the county and the 9-1-1 board.

The commission did not set a separate effective date on the record; next procedural steps and any required signatures were not detailed at the meeting.
