Granbury adopts ordinance to add fees for regional radio network; per‑device rate falls to $14
Summary
The City of Granbury voted to adopt Ordinance No. 25‑78, amending the master fee schedule to collect fees for the Granbury Regional Radio Network. Staff said Somerville County’s participation reduces the monthly per‑device rate from $20 to $14; the ordinance passed unanimously.
The City of Granbury governing body on Monday adopted Ordinance No. 25‑78, amending the city’s master fee schedule to provide for collection of fees for the Granbury Regional Radio Network.
A staff member told the body that Somerville County has joined the regional radio program and that “we’ve added their radios to the equation, which will reduce the monthly rate per device.” The staff member said the per‑device monthly fee for mobile, portable and desktop radios “reduces it from $20 to $14.” The staff member added that they could answer questions if needed.
After no substantive questions from members, the presiding official called for a motion to adopt the ordinance. Mister Holland moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25‑78; Mister Cargen seconded. The body voted in favor; the presiding official recorded the outcome as six in favor, no nays.
The ordinance amends Article 1.5, Section 1.5.0.8 of the City of Granbury Code of Ordinances to add fee collection for the Granbury Regional Radio Network. The transcript did not specify an effective date for the ordinance or a detailed breakdown of how revenue will be allocated.
The change is aimed at formalizing fee collection for agencies on the regional radio system and reflects a lower per‑device charge now that an additional participant has joined. The meeting record does not list individual roll‑call votes by name beyond the motion and second; the presiding official confirmed the motion passed with no opposing votes.
