Staff: sheriff contract service level unchanged despite rising costs; city share now about $190,000
Summary
A staff member told commissioners that service levels under the sheriff contract have not changed — there are no dedicated deputies assigned — but costs have increased: staff cited $170,000 last year and estimated about $190,000 for the current year.
A staff member told the commission the city's sheriff contract continues to provide coverage comparable to other unincorporated county areas — that is, no dedicated deputies for Blue Lake — and that there has been no reduction in service level compared with previous years. "There are no changes to, to the level of service or, the way it works," the staff member said.
The staff member discussed the city's share of costs for sheriff services and grant revenue figures. "Like, a 153,000... last year, our cost was a 170,000. This year, it's a 190,000," the staff member said, acknowledging the numbers have edged up and are calculated from prior-year actual costs. Commissioners asked for clearer contract terms and whether multi‑year options are available; staff said they would return with more detail at a future meeting.
