City
renews sheriff's contract
By Jim Cornelius
Sheriff's deputies will continue
to patrol the streets of Sisters through June 30, 2005.
The city of Sisters renewed
its contract with the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office last week.
The city will pay $296,862
for the next year's service, with a built in 5 percent annual increase.
If costs go up more than five percent, the city will pay the additional
cost; if costs are less than 5 percent higher, the sheriff's office will
credit the city.
The sheriff's office will
give the city at least 120 hours of patrol coverage within the city limits
each week. The sheriff also agreed to "address specific concerns of (the)
city through law enforcement services."
Mayor Steve Wilson brought
up one such concern at the Thursday, April 11, city council meeting. Wilson
noted that deputies had not written any traffic citations in February
and just one in March.
"It appears that we don't
have the kind of traffic coverage that we'd like," Wilson said.
The Deschutes County Sheriff's
Office started delivering police services in Sisters three years ago.
