## Resource

Colorado Springs is poised to break ties with the El Paso-Teller County 911 Authority, aiming to capture $3.8 million annually in fees to cover its $12 million annual dispatch cost — but the move has sparked backlash. City Council members accuse the mayor of bypassing them, calling the process “unthoughtful,” while the authority defends its funding model and regional partnerships. Teller County warns of a $2 million budget gap, and fire departments accuse the city of bullying. The council will debate the split on August 10th, as the mayor insists it’s a collaborative opportunity — and that the city’s safety won’t be compromised.
