The agenda for the November 18th, meeting was approved without
motion.
Chairwoman Edwards called on Mort McBain who reported on the
adjusted annualized costs for the civilian law enforcement
positions. (A revised copy is enclosed.)
Chairwoman Edwards then called on Mike Schafer who with --he
assistance of Chuck Maxwell present the Sheriff's proposal
for a unified law enforcement system for Yellowstone County.
After explaining the proposal, Schafer indicated if there was
serious consideration from the committee, a subcommittee should
be appointed to review the plan, make improvements, prepare a
budget and sell it to the citizens.
A discussion followed with Mayor Van Arsdale pointing out the
plan did not indicate any dollars and cents, and he could not
consider the plan without them. A discussion relating to the
issue of inequities continued among members of the committee
in disagreement. The inequities need to be addressed and costs
attached to services provided by the county. Neither the
Sheriff's plan or Mayor Van Arsdale's plan was accepted by
the committee at this time.
