(KNZA)--The Horton City Commission will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening to discuss a proposal for the Brown County Sheriff’s Office to take over emergency dispatch services for the city.
The meeting will begin at 6:00 at the Horton Community Blue Building.
The Commission will be meeting with the Brown County Commission, Sheriff John Merchant and representatives of emergency service providers from the Horton area.
The public is encouraged to attend the meeting to learn more about the proposal and voice any questions or concerns.
Horton City Commissioners say they want to make sure all questions and concerns are addressed prior to making a decision on the proposal.
The Brown County Commission last month approved taking over all emergency dispatch services in the county, effective January 1st, 2018.
The action is subject to the approval of the cities of Horton and Hiawatha along with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department.
County Commission Chairman Steve Roberts made the recommendation, saying the county has been dispatching for the city of Hiawatha for a long time and felt it was unfair to the city of Horton.
The county has offered to provide the dispatch service at no cost to the cities.
