911 dispute close to solution
Porterdale concerned about dispatch service cost
Placeholder Image
Porterdale received answers to all of its 911 Center questions, but it still wasn’t satisfied with the amount of money it had to pay for emergency dispatch services. However, Porterdale, Covington and Newton County accomplished more in Tuesday’s 45-minute joint work session than they did in the previous few months of back and forth discussion. The only issue remaining between Porterdale and Covington and Newton County is how Porterdale’s share of 911 dispatch fees is calculated.
