City manager asks county to continue shared funding for senior center and library; offers model dispatch agreement
Summary
City Manager Amy Leon asked the commission for county contributions to shared services, including splitting center building costs and county support for library operations and portions of E911 funds; she also offered a draft dispatch agreement modeled on Hughes County for review.
City Manager Amy Leon presented requests for shared funding and operational coordination. Leon asked the county to continue splitting building costs for the community center (50/50), raised upcoming HVAC replacement needs, and requested a county contribution to the community library (proposed $24,000, roughly 2.5% of the library budget) and 90% of certain E911 funds.
Leon also said the city drafted a template interlocal agreement for dispatch services based on a Hughes County model; she asked county staff (state's attorney and sheriff) to review the draft before formal consideration. Commissioners said they would review the proposal with the state's attorney and sheriff and return with feedback.
No formal funding action was taken at the meeting; Leon left materials for follow‑up and indicated she would work with county staff on the dispatch contract language.
