Staff warns LEC cost-share uncertainty could affect preliminary budget
Summary
City staff reported a $62,000 police rent estimate and projected LEC board costs near $106,000–$110,000 but said county cost-share negotiations remain unclear; staff invited the Lake Region Law Enforcement Center to present at the next special meeting.
The mayor noted no Lake Region Law Enforcement Center (LEC) representative was present; staff presented preliminary rent and board-cost estimates and flagged cost-share uncertainty.
"She was able to provide me the rent for PD at 62,000, which is, you know, we're paying roughly $5,000 a month currently," staff said, summarizing the LEC figures received. Staff said projected board costs were estimated near $106,000 and the packet used $110,000 on the line as a working figure.
Staff asked the commission to consider a modest contingency because county negotiations could change the city's share and said the LEC was invited to the Wednesday special meeting to present any details they can provide.
Commissioners agreed to wait for the LEC presentation before finalizing the preliminary budget and directed staff to include LEC figures in the Wednesday session's packet.
