Kearney formalizes dispatching arrangement with Clay County Sheriff's Office
Summary
The board approved an ordinance formalizing an existing emergency dispatching arrangement with the Clay County Sheriff's Office. Police Chief Mark Thomas said the MOU documents a long‑standing service and does not change prices.
The Kearney Board of Aldermen voted to adopt an ordinance approving a memorandum of understanding with the Clay County Sheriff's Office to document emergency dispatching services for the city. Police Chief Mark Thomas told the board Clay County has provided dispatching for Kearney "probably since Christ was a corporal, a long time," and that the MOU simply formalizes the relationship without changing prices.
The ordinance was read on first and second readings and approved by unanimous voice vote. Chief Thomas described the action as documenting existing practice rather than creating new terms; staff said the MOU standardizes the arrangement in writing.
