body
BACKGROUND
An Interlocal Agreement between the City and Dallas County was entered in October 2005. The current term of that agreement ended December 31, 2020. Dallas County has found that it is advantageous to have their communication equipment maintained by and their radio airtime provided by the City of Dallas. On January 2, 2018, the Dallas County Commissioners' Court gave concurrent authorization for Dallas County to enter into a new three-year Interlocal Agreement with the City of Dallas for these services. The previous Interlocal Agreement with Dallas County had no adverse impact on the City's ability to provide wireless service to its own users and it will have no adverse impact in the future.
