Title
Consider a resolution of approving an Intergovernmental Service Agreement for the detention of prisoners in emergency situations with the City of North Richland Hills, Texas; and authorizing the City Manager to execute said agreement on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.

This agreement should be considered as a temporary relief in the event of any of the aforementioned emergency situations only.

direct or indirect outside costs associated with the care or housing of the Booking
Agency’s prisoners.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney has reviewed the Intergovernmental Service Agreement.
