Sheriff's Proposal to Provide Police Services in San Carlos
At the December 14, 2009 City Council meeting, the City Council discussed and authorized Staff to contact neighboring police departments to provide contract Police Services for San Carlos.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Department and the City of Redwood City have both expressed an interest in providing these services to the City of San Carlos. To date, the County Sheriff is the only agency to have provided a written proposal to the City.
The City Council will hold their annual budget study session on Saturday, March 13, 2010 from Noon to 5:00 pm. in the Community Room, 2nd Floor, San Carlos Library, 610 Elm Street. Residents can watch the meeting live on Comcast Cable Channel 27.
The City’s Proposed Budget for 2010-11 features "two paths" to a balanced budget. The recommended path involves City Council authorization for the City Manager and City Department Heads to prepare service agreements for receiving Police and Fire services from neighboring agencies and to explore contracting for parks maintenance services.
This meeting will include a presentation by the City Manager and City
Department Heads on the proposed 2010-11 City Budget. The meeting will
also provide time for City Council questions and discussion on the
proposed budget.
It is also
anticipated that there will be time for public comments on
the proposed budget. Individuals who are unable to attend this meeting
will be able to comment on the proposed budget at the second budget
study session to be held on the evening of March 22nd starting at 6:00
pm.
