County, city officials make progress on dispatching services agreement

     Officials from the City of Hampton, Franklin County, and the Franklin County Emergency Management Commission met with attorneys on Aug. 6 to try to hash out their differences over the future of emergency dispatching services in the county.

     "I'm happy," said Hampton City Council Member Dyanne Pralle after the meeting. "That seemed to go well."

     Franklin County Supervisor Cory Eberling also said he was satisfied with the meeting and added that he wants to come to a resolution that saves money for all county residents.
