• Higher fees possible for some agencies dispatched by county's E-911 program (gasconadecountyrepublican.com) — Gasconade County's E-911 program is preparing to take over dispatching for the city of Gerald, after local officials agreed to a new contract that may eventually bring higher service fees for some agencies. Service will start once Gerald installs the required technology, while the E-911 board also weighs budget plans, a possible vehicle purchase, and building upkeep needs.
