Hartland, County Could Resume Talks on Road Patrol Contracts

Livingston County officials say they are open to resuming talks about an extension of the Livingston County Sheriff's contract in Hartland Township, according to the Press & Argus.

As Patch previously reported, for the past four decades, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department has provided road patrol services with full-time deputies in Hartland and Tyrone Townships. But due to rising costs, Hartland Township declined a two-year extension to the contract in March, thus letting the contract expire.

According to the Press & Argus, Hartland Township drafted a proposal last week that would have the township pay for the cost of one full deputy, as long as a second patrol car was made available to at no additional cost.

Both Hartland and Tyrone would need to approve the proposal before it would be given to the county commission for final approval.
