Jackson County authorizes attorney to request law-enforcement contract from LaMotte
Summary
The board directed the county attorney to draft and send a letter to the City of LaMotte requesting a contract for small-city law enforcement services after hearing from the County Attorney’s Office; the motion was approved unanimously.
Chief Deputy Jim Kraker and County Attorney John Kies told the board the county needs contracts to provide law-enforcement services to small cities. The board voted to instruct the County Attorney’s Office to draft and send a formal request to the City of LaMotte seeking a contract for those services.
“Motion Flagel, second Steines approving the Jackson County Attorney’s Office to draft and send a letter to the City of LaMotte requesting a contract for law enforcement services with Jackson County as presented. Aye: Schwenker, Steines, Flagel,” the minutes state. The record does not include the proposed contract terms, fee schedule, or a timeline for the City of LaMotte to respond.
The action authorizes the attorney’s office to begin formal outreach; any subsequent agreement would return to the board for approval if required by county policy or state law.
