vehicle, which will enhance the effectiveness of the services provided by the District and shall be
the property of the District upon purchase.
The Tourist Development Council recommended approval of the interlocal agreement at its
December 12, 2013 meeting.
The Okaloosa Island Fire District approved the interlocal agreement at its January 15, 2014
