(KLZA)-- Negotiations are ongoing between Pawnee City and Pawnee County for law enforcement services.
The Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office provides law enforcement for Pawnee City as well as several other villages in the County.
Pawnee County had sought a 3.5-percent increase in the contract amount for law enforcement services. Pawnee City countered with an increase of 1.5 percent.
Commission Chairman Dennis Schaardt met with the Pawnee City Council earlier this month. While the Council said they could go 2.5 percent annually for three years, Schaardt said the County did not want to go lower than 3 percent.
Tuesday during the Commissioners meeting the Board approved a motion to increase the contract amount 3 percent each year for a three-year contract.
The Pawnee City Council will meet again June 27th.
In a related agenda item, the Board approved a motion to increase the law enforcement agreements for the villages of Burchard, DuBois, Lewiston, Steinauer and Table Rock by 2 percent for the 2016-17 fiscal year.
