Nevada council evaluates public-safety options, seeks updated interlocal agreements and grant help
Summary
Council members discussed a costly prior Interlocal Agreement for deputies, raised concerns about sheriff staffing and response times, and directed staff to seek updated ILA proposals and prepare a police-department budget for possible future voter consideration.
City Secretary Heather Schell reviewed a previous Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for two deputies that had not been approved and noted substantial cost implications; councilmembers agreed updated cost estimates were needed.
Mayor Pro Tem Amanda Wilson said the Collin County sheriff told her there is "only one sheriff for 400 square miles," underscoring limited county staffing; the council discussed seeking quotes from neighboring cities, pursuing grants for public-safety funding, and preparing a budget scenario for a city police department that could be presented to voters as a bond proposition.
