Sheriff's Office declines IGA enforcement; council cites cost concerns
Summary
A letter from the county Sheriff's Office said it will not pursue intergovernmental agreement (IGA) enforcement; the city would need ordinance changes, attorney review, and an enforcement fund, with an estimated cost of $100,000. Council agreed this was not financially viable.
A letter from the county Sheriff's Office informed the Seneca City Council that the office is not interested in pursuing enforcement under the proposed intergovernmental agreement (IGA). The letter said the city would need to modify ordinances and have an attorney review them for legal sufficiency; it also said the county would not assume enforcement costs and that a dedicated fund would need to be established. The letter included an estimated enforcement cost of $100,000.
After reviewing the letter, council members discussed the financial and practical implications and agreed the expense and uncertain frequency of enforcement made the option infeasible at this time. The minutes state that the council "agreed that this was not a financially viable option at this time." No formal motion to adopt enforcement was recorded.
