Would the combined municipality be obligated to continue the 5-year contract for law enforcement services that the current City has with the Sheriff’s Department?
The City of Pewaukee contract with the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department gives an annual “opt out” opportunity to the City, provided that notice is given by August 31st in any given year. The exercise of that “opt out” clause by August 31, 2010 would entail a cost penalty of about $30,000 to cover administrative overhead charges in the first year. Decisions regarding the policing of the merged municipality would be made by the new City Council.
