RESOLUTION NO. ?q -O ?
WHEREAS, Denton County's population is in excess of
250,000 and is one of the most rapidly growing counties in the
nation; and
WHEREAS, the growing number of violent deaths in
Denton County need greater investigative resources than are
currently available through the seven Justice courts, and
WHEREAS, a standardized investigation of deaths will
provide a safer, more crime-free community; and
WHEREAS, Denton County already budgets $100,000 for
autopsies, alone, and a Joint-Medical Examiner District would
only cost an additional $100,000 to $150,000 for full medical-
examiner services
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council
of the City of the Colony, Texas, hereby petitions the
Commissioners Court of Denton County to implement a Joint-Medical
Examiner District into the 1989-1990 budget.
PASSED AND APPROVED this ~O'~day~ of ~, 1989.
