The Perry City Council approved a 28E agreement for mutual aid at their most recent meeting on Monday

Mayor John Andorf says the mutual aid agreement means if there are instances where the City of Perry would need help with a fire or a natural disaster, the City could receive assistance from communities within Dallas County as well as neighboring counties or offer assistance to others. 

“It’s been something that most communities, perhaps all communities in the county have really looked at for a long time and this just formalizes what we’ve really wanted to do so we can work formally with each other and be under the direction of the Dallas County management.”

Additionally, Andorf says this is something that has been looked at for quite some time.
