Nelsonville staff reports village police contract draft, sheriff covering services pending response
Summary
City staff told the Nelsonville Finance Committee a draft police contract was sent to the village proposing $30,000 in year one with increases to $40,000 by the third year; the village has not yet accepted the proposal and the sheriff’s department is temporarily providing coverage. Committee members said they expect a response by the committee’s next meeting.
Nelsonville staff updated the Finance Committee on negotiations over a village police contract, saying a draft based on the prior agreement proposes $30,000 in the first year with incremental increases that would reach $40,000 by year three.
Staff said they have submitted a contract draft for the village’s review and are awaiting the village’s response. The staff member described outreach to the village and said a Nelsonville representative attended the village council meeting but the matter was not resolved there. A committee member observed that “there’s been some misinformation going around” but said the village appeared interested in reaching agreement.
Staff confirmed the sheriff’s department is providing police coverage while negotiations continue. Speakers noted scheduling: the village’s next meeting was reported as Aug. 6 and the committee’s next meeting as Aug. 10; staff said they expect a reply before the committee’s meeting.
The transcript contains no formal acceptance, execution, or vote on the draft contract; it records only the staff update and discussion of next steps.
