Lake City council approves 28E law enforcement contract with Calhoun County

The Lake City City Council voted 5-0 on July 2 to approve Resolution 2025-25, a 28E law enforcement contract that authorizes Calhoun County’s sheriff’s office to provide police protection and administrative services for Lake City.

Mayor Mike Schleisman presided over the special meeting. Councilmembers Gorden, Vogt and Wilson were present in person; Councilmembers Bruns and Daniel participated via electronic media. Calhoun County Sheriff Pat Riley attended and outlined the proposed arrangement. The record shows the council discussed estimated costs, coverage and terms, though the transcript does not specify dollar amounts or detailed contractual terms.

Councilmember Wilson moved to adopt Resolution 2025-25; Councilmember Vogt seconded. The roll call vote recorded Ayes from Vogt, Gorden, Wilson, Daniel and Bruns; Nays — none. The motion carried, approving the 28E Law Enforcement Contract between Calhoun County and the City of Lake City. On the same motions (Wilson moved, Vogt seconded), the council adjourned at 5:11 p.m.

The meeting record does not list implementation steps, contract start date, budget line items, or the precise cost to the city. Those details were discussed with Sheriff Riley but not entered into the minutes; city staff or the county sheriff’s office likely hold the contract text and budget specifics.

The resolution and the executed 28E agreement will determine the formal terms, including duration, cost-sharing and performance expectations, but those items were not specified in the meeting record.
