Pondera County commissioners voted June 18 to approve a three‑year contract to provide law enforcement services to the Town of Valier. The contract's first‑year cost to Valier is $72,166, payable quarterly to the county, and includes a 4% increase each subsequent year. Commissioners said the agreement will expire in June 2028.
Meeting discussion noted Valier had approved the agreement before the county vote. A motion to approve the contract was moved and seconded; commissioners answered "Aye" and the chair announced, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll‑call vote or the names of the mover and seconder.
The county presented the payment schedule as year‑by‑year with the 4% annual increase applied after the first year. No additional operational details, staffing levels, or attachment of performance metrics were included in the meeting record.
No follow‑up tasks or reporting requirements were specified on the record; commissioners did not state whether the county must seek additional approvals to implement the contract beyond the county's vote.
