The City contracts for two Police Officers at 40 hours a week each which works <br />t out to 4,160 hours per year. Our contract also calls for vacation and sick time <br />allowed which, if used, the contract hours are covered by the other members of <br />the Sheriff's Department. This Deputy is also a citizen of Lake Elmo. I am <br />very familiar and satisfied with the coverage that Lake Elmo gets from the <br />Sheriff's Department. There are usually two and sometimes three Deputies in <br />the Contract Area at all times not including the Contract Officers. Each of <br />these Officers working 8-hour shift. <br />In conclusion, I feel Mr. Acree's complaints could have been satisfied had he <br />taken my invitation to sit with us when running radar. He did not. Any of <br />his questions could have been answered at that time. I would tell Mr. Acree <br />that we have been working radar on County Road 17 and other roads in Lake Elmo <br />years before he moved into town and if we have felt that there was a problem <br />we have taken action to correct it. <br />I would also like Mr. Acres to know that his concerns along with the concerns <br />of the other petitioners are appreciated as without information and complaints <br />from citizens our job is close to impossible. In this instance, however, I <br />think Mr. Acres's complaint has been given the proper and sufficient attention. <br />Respectfully, <br />D r <br />Jesse W. Kurtz <br />ashington County Sheriff's Department <br />/rs <br />- 3 - <br />
