Commissioners agree to pursue interlocal agreement with WP

Van Zandt County Commissioners authorized the VZC Sheriff’s Department to pursue an interlocal agreement with the City of Wills Point on a piece of property to be used for a gun range that is currently owned by the city.

The action by the commissioners took place June 13 during their regular monthly meeting that turned into an almost two-hour session to work through a lengthy agenda.

Discussion over the use of a gun range by the Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies in the county on property owned by the City of Wills Point continued between the commissioners, the sheriff’s department and Wills Point City Manager Pam Pearson during the meeting.

“We stopped using this gun range for a while,” pointed out VZC Judge Don Kirkpatrick. “The City of Wills Point has said that the sheriff’s office could use that property for qualifying.”
