ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Several municipalities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex have entered into an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ILA) to create a mutual aid network. The primary purpose of this ILA is to enhance community safety and well-being by establishing a protocol for participating cities to assist one another with animal control services in the event of a large-scale emergency or disaster. The City of Lewisville submitted a request to the ILA's Coordinating Committee on September 10, 2025, to join the agreement. Following a thorough review, the committee voted to approve the request on September 15, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
