Clarkston council raises 9-1-1 fee to $3.40 under interlocal agreement with Logan City
Summary
The Clarkston Town Council approved Resolution 26-08 to increase the 9-1-1 fee by $0.10 to $3.40, effective July, per an amendment to the interlocal dispatch services agreement with Logan City; council clarified the fee is assessed per person per year.
The Clarkston Town Council on June 3 approved Resolution 26-08, amending the town master fee schedule to raise the 9-1-1 fee by 10 cents to $3.40, effective in July, in accordance with amendment No. 1 to the interlocal agreement for dispatch services with Logan City.
Chair read the resolution language noting the increase and the amended interlocal agreement. Council members asked whether the fee applies per call or on a per-person-per-year basis; a council member clarified it is assessed per person per year. After a motion and second, the resolution passed on roll call: Mayor Thompson, aye; Council member Noble, absent; Council member Giddey, aye; Council member Godfrey, absent; Council member Peterson, aye.
Why it matters: the increase adjusts the local portion of the dispatch fee residents pay and aligns Clarkston with the amended agreement with Logan City.
Details: The resolution states the 9-1-1 fee will be $3.40, reflecting a $0.10 increase. Council discussion included confirming the town's per-person billing basis and the fact that the change stems from the interlocal agreement; no further rate design or exemptions were recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: The fee increase is effective beginning in July as stated in the resolution record.
