Hawkins County Mayor Jim Lee Is Asking The County Commission If It Should Continue Funding The County’s Central Dispatch. Lee Said He Didn’t See How He Could Justify Renewing The 175-Thousand Dollar Contract. Not Doing So, Could Come At A Cost Of Losing State Funding For Fire, Police And Rescue Agencies In Addition To Requiring Each Department To Hire Their Own Dispatchers. No Decision Has Been Made And The Item Is Expected To Be Up For Discussion At The Next Meeting.
