Council approves $97,000 annual law-enforcement agreement with county sheriff

Bryce Canyon City’s council approved a draft law enforcement agreement the sheriff’s office prepared, with an annual contract amount discussed at $97,000.

The Chair summarized the agreement as intentionally simple: the county would provide equipment, the contract included a 90-day termination clause, and the sheriff proposed attending up to 10 city council meetings upon request. Council members had an opportunity to review the draft and asked staff to circulate it for further review; a motion to approve the law enforcement agreement was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote.

Outcome and next steps: staff will finalize the contract paperwork with the sheriff’s office per the terms discussed and return any final contract pages to council for the city’s records.
