The agreements, approved Aug. 25 by council, were approved by Commissioners Court on Sept. 1. The city will debut its EMS service Oct. 1. According to the interlocal agreement, the city will provide fire and medical service within the city limits and Emergency Services District No. 8, which encompasses most of the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ. The county will provide service in the portions of the ETJ outside the ESD 8 boundaries, such as the Cimarron Hills community, Fire Chief John Sullivan said. The council also approved a mutual assistance agreement that says in the event of an emergency inside the city’s service territory, the county could be called to assist the city. The third agreement establishes rates and billing processes for the city to provide service to the Williamson County Jail.
