ALSO FOR YOUR INFORMATION.... <br /> The statement has been made that we could contract out to the Sheriff's department for <br /> services because of the cost of doing business. It was stated that contact had been made <br /> with the Sheriff's department and they agreed. <br /> However Debbie Backdahl, Deputy Sheriff and Eric Klang, Sheriff have been contacted <br /> by our City and neither have spoken with anyone from Pequot Lakes. <br /> Yes we can contract with the Sheriff's department. <br /> HERE ARE THEIR FIGURES OF COST, (According to Debbie Backdahl) <br /> A Proposal was put out in 2003 to another community as follows: <br /> 5 officers $414,000.00 <br /> DOES NOT INCLUDE <br /> Start up costs <br /> Field training (required to keep licenses up) <br /> No officer present at our school <br /> Special events in city(4`h of July, Bean Hole etc) <br /> THESE WOULD ALL BE ADDITIONAL COSTS TO FIGURE ABOVE. <br /> The figure above was a 2003 estimate and does not reflect the increase of costs in 2004 <br /> because they are still in negotiations on contracts. <br /> Our Police budget for 2005 is $358,588 <br /> $55,812 LESS THEN IF WE WOULD CONTRACT WITH CROW WING COUNTY <br />
