<br />9 1.20 <br />Subject: <br /> <br />and identifying any possible implementation problems at the local level <br />and relating that information to the TELCOs. <br /> <br />Inter-local agreements <br /> <br />Reference: Office of the Attorney General <br /> <br />Source: <br /> <br />Policy: <br /> <br />Internal e-mail to regional council questioning inter-local agreements <br /> <br />The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) was contacted and declined <br />to issue an opinion about the legal validity of inter-local contracts. It was <br />pointed out that such direction is a function of the Opinion Committee at <br />the GAG. It was also stated that inter-local contracts must be consistent <br />with Chapter 791 of the Government Code. <br /> <br />It was identified that even if a provision from Chapter 791 were held not <br />to apply for some reason, Section 771.055 of the Health and Safety <br />Code provides that the "service may be administered by a combination <br />fonned by an inter-local contract, or by other appropriate means as <br />determined by the regional planning commission." Note that there are <br />several Attorney General opinions that support the propriety of using <br />inter-local contracts for PSAP administration. See, Tex. Atty. Gen. Op. <br />Nos. JM-891 (1988); H296 (1974); M-1278 (1972). <br /> <br />ACSEC Policies and Procedures <br />February 1999 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br />
