PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorization to execute a joint powers agreement with the Township of Ravenna for ordinance enforcement.
SUMMARY
In 2010, with approval from the Dakota County Board of Commissioners, the Sheriff's Office executed joint powers agreements with several townships/cities to enforce selected local ordinances. Additional townships and cities have executed similar agreements with the Sheriff's Office. The previous joint power agreement for ordinance enforcement with the Township of Ravenna expired on December 31, 2024. The Township and the Sheriff wish to renew the agreement. The Sheriff agreed to provide ordinance enforcement for the period January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026.
In 2025, the County will receive $80.00 per hour for investigative services and $60.00 per hour for court preparation/waiting time. The rates will be evaluated and possibly amended on January 1, 2026, to reflect any increase in the County's cost to provide services pursuant to the agreement. Notice of any cost increase shall be provided to the township/city each year by November 1, immediately preceding January 1. During the fourteen years that the joint powers agreements have been in effect, only two entities have been billed for services.
