The Cleburne Times-Review finally printed a significant story about the Johnson County Emergency Services District with Joshua's point of view. I wish they had taken more of an interest six months ago when this started since most of Sunday's article was quite historical in nature and a month after the original article was printed that told former ESD Directory, Joey Reed's, perspective. Still I'm glad they've finally taken an interest. It was a story worth telling and now most of it has been told. I hope they follow the ESD business more closely going forward since I'm sure they have a large readership affected by the decisions made by that board. At this point though we've all moved on to executing the business of public safety to the best of our abilities per the current agreement.
Now that the ESD has a new interim director and a new board president they're interested in talking with the City of Joshua again to see if we can we can forge ahead with some kind of an agreement to once again cover an area larger than the city limits of Joshua with automatic aid in the next contract. We've always been open to that discussion and we'll gladly see what they have in mind now, but as the elected body that represents the citizens of Joshua they have to understand our city council will work in the interest of the people of Joshua first. That's our job.
