Sheriff suggests jail contract
Jan Schultz, The Imperial Republican
City and county representatives may join forces to hammer out a potential contract between the two entities on use of the county jail.
The contract idea was floated last week by County Sheriff Kevin Mueller as he spoke at the commissioners’ Jan. 22 meeting.
He believes it could help both sides if there is an understanding on what’s expected of both departments in the jailing process, which the sheriff’s office directs.
After about 45 minutes of discussion, newly-seated commissioner Jacci Brown offered to be the county’s representative.
