State law provides for $.50 fee to be collected each month on individual and business telephone bills. These fees are collected by the State Comptroller's office and the State Legislature determines how much of the funds from these fees are returned to the region.
In the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature, SB 1108 was passed allowing councils of governments to form 9-1-1 districts whereby all fees collected from citizens and businesses within these districts are remitted directly to the districts to be used solely for the provision of 9-1-1 services.
In 2016, the City of Allen passed Resolution No. 3372-4-16(R) supporting the formation of the 9-1-1 district within the NCTCOG region. This district was created on December 3, 2018. The board is comprised of elected officials appointed by their governing bodies. As an eligible jurisdiction, the City of Allen is entitled to appoint a representative. The proposed action is to name a representative as Allen's representative to the board. This appointment is for a two year term which begins January 1, 2021, and ends December 31, 2023.
