Bolivar’s City Council voted to approve an interlocal mutual aid agreement with Haywood County Fire Rescue and EMS to provide reciprocal assistance during major fires or other emergencies.
The mayor introduced the agreement as new business, explaining it mirrors existing agreements the city has with other county cities. Council member McKinney moved to approve the agreement and Council member Williams seconded the motion. The chair called for the vote and announced the motion carried.
