Mayor and Commissioners –

On July 17^th I informed the Sheriff that we would terminate our existing agreement for the Joint Aviation Unit and enter into a new agreement effective October 1^st wherein we would provide GPD personnel to operate the existing helicopter owned and operated by the Sheriff. The Sheriff requested operational funds in addition to personnel. I did not agree with that request and the Sheriff ultimately lowered her request to just a split of fuel ($17,000) which I also declined to include in the new agreement.

Today I received the attached letter indicating that the Sheriff that the County will not pick up the additional fuel cost ($17,000) and therefore the Aviation Unit will operate on a one shift assignment and be operated solely by the Sheriff.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Lee
