Dispatching pact

WARREN

The Trumbull County commissioners are expected today to approve an agreement with the Weathersfield Township trustees to provide dispatching services to the township’s police and fire departments through the Trumbull County 911 center.

The agreement is for one year starting July 1, and calls for the township to pay the county $1,755 per month.

Trustees approved the agreement Thursday. Currently, the township receives dispatching services through the city of Niles.

The change is expected to save the township $30,000 annually.
