Rachelle Moody. Assistant City Administrator. shared Aiken County, in partnership with
the City of North Augusta, is working on a project to update its 9-1-1 system. To respond
to the growing use of cellular phones, the system is being updated to what is called "Next
Generation 9-1-1." During this review,several parcels were identified that are split by the
city limits. Properties that straddle the city limit can be difficult for the 9-1-1 system to
locate during an emergency. Clarifying these boundaries helps us properly dispatch law
enforcement and fire first responders to the correct location. This and the following two
annexation requests involve properties which straddle the city limits. There is no cost
associated with this process and no fee or tax changes are expected as a result of the
annexation. There were no comments from citizens or Council. The resolution was
