Highland Village City Council members unanimously approved an agreement at an Aug. 26 meeting.
The specifics
The city will provide services to unincorporated areas of Denton County from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 2027, according to city documents.
City Secretary Angela Miller said the city and county have had similar agreements in the past, and the contract is usually renewed annually.
The cost
Denton County will pay the city of Highland Village a total of $37,435 for fire calls and ambulance transports during the duration of the agreement, according to city documents.
The city will receive:
- $18,441 for fiscal year 2025-26
- $18,994 for fiscal year 2026-27
“In Denton County, mutual aid between fire departments is an essential part of daily operations,” Director of Marketing and Communication Laurie Mullens said in an email. “The agreement with Denton County is a revenue source for the city and does not typically impact the service to our residents. As a region, we rely on one another to provide backup and mutual aid.”
