The fallout from a 2024 payment dispute had threatened public safety, but both sides worked hard to rebuild trust, agreeing on everything from emergency calls to non-urgent support.

This partnership also marks progress on broader intergovernmental cooperation, including ambulance districts and development fees, all now set with clear budgets and deadlines.
