The Jamestown City Council approved the new interlocal 911 agreement at last week’s city council meeting.
The new agreement, which was approved by the council with a unanimous vote, is a five-year agreement in which both the City of Jamestown, the Ambulance Board, and the City of Russell Springs each contribute $35,000 annually to be used toward operating expenses of the 911 service.
The new agreement does contain a clause that states if expenses for 911 go up more than 20 percent during that five-year period, the contract can be renegotiated.
