(Weatherford, Tx) – The Weatherford City Council and Emergency Services District 3 have come to a compensation arrangement.

The Weatherford Democrat reports the council voted Tuesday to accept the offer from ESD 3 on a contract that will pay the city 13% of the Weatherford Fire Department’s operational budget.  WFD provides services to the ESD 3 areas, which covers about 75 miles in Hudson Oaks, parts of Weatherford, Annetta, Annetta North and eastern unincorporated Parker County.

The restructuring of the deal also means ESD 3 will make quarterly payments to the City of Weatherford instead of having the payment based on appraised property values.
