Council delays vote on sheriff contract amendment to November 12
Summary
A proposed amendment to the county sheriff services contract (Contract No. 99-376) to add $197,195 in appropriations was continued to the Nov. 12 meeting so staff can clarify contract details and key position schedules.
Council considered Amendment No. 30 to Contract No. 99-376 with the county for law enforcement services, which would increase appropriations by $172,195 for the sheriff's contract and $25,000 for overtime (total $197,195) funded from the general fund reserve.
City Manager (Mr. Martinez) asked that the item be continued to the Nov. 12 meeting to resolve outstanding deal points and confirm key position schedules before council action. Martinez said the city has until December to adopt the contract amendment and preferred to bring clarified information to the next agenda.
Council agreed to continue the item; no vote on the substance of the contract amendment occurred at this meeting. Staff noted they will return with the updated contract terms and recommended action on Nov. 12, allowing additional time to negotiate the best available terms.
