Village expected to consider police switch at Monday meeting
The Waterford Town Board made history July 26, unanimously voting to approve a contract to provide joint policing services in 2013 for the Village of Waterford.
The signed document was then hand-carried over to the Village Hall by village Trustee Roy Gawlitta, who attended the town’s meeting and spoke in favor of the contract.
Now it’s up to the full Village Board to review, discuss and either sign or refuse to sign.
A special meeting to do just that is tentatively set for 4:30 p.m., Monday, July 30, at the Village Hall. Village officials are facing a deadline that requires notification by Aug. 1 of any changes the village wants to make in its contract with the Racine County Sheriff’s Department for 2013 policing.
For 35 years, RCSD has provided the village with policing services on a contractual basis. The town’s proposal is expected to save village taxpayers at least $25,000 annually.
Full coverage of the issue and the results of Monday’s meeting will appear in the Aug. 3 print edition of the Waterford Post.
