Council approves interlocal agreements for emergency communications tower and building code enforcement
Summary
Council approved interlocal agreements to split costs with Vance County on a proposed 395-foot emergency communications tower (city's share estimated at $375,000) and to have the county provide building code enforcement services under an initial six-month term that renews annually.
The Henderson City Council on Sept. 8 approved two interlocal agreements with Vance County.
Deputy City Clerk Paylor Spruill told the council the City received a congressional earmark—credited in the minutes to Representative Don Davis—that would fund roughly 80% of a proposed 395-foot emergency communications tower at the North Henderson ball fields. The minutes record the City’s current estimated share of the tower project at $375,000 but note that the figure could change once the project is put out to bid. Council approved Resolution 25-46 to enter an interlocal agreement to split costs equally with the County.
Manager Kingsberry briefed the council on a separate building code enforcement interlocal agreement with the County that would cover an initial six-month period of service and then automatically renew in one-year increments; the council approved Resolution 25-47 unanimously.
Council approved both interlocal agreements with unanimous votes. The minutes do not specify detailed construction timelines for the tower or exact contract terms beyond the six-month initial period for code enforcement.
