11/21/12 - The Hartland Township Board is preparing to meet with Tyrone Township officials to discuss the performance of the Livingston County Sheriffâs Department before renewing their contract with the agency. The two townships split a $600,000 contract to have 24-hour road patrols from the sheriff in lieu of forming independent police departments. The five-year contract is nearing its expiration, and during its work session last night the Hartland Township Board discussed whether it was getting its moneyâs worth out of the deal. Manager James Wickman tells WHMI the contract is a good bargain for the township, but the renewal will give the board an opportunity to improve it. He says the council has questions regarding the operations and response times of the sheriffâs department that should be addressed, but overall they are happy with the deal they are getting. Officials from Hartland and Tyrone will meet next month to discuss the contract, then schedule a meeting with the sheriffâs department to discuss prices it has put forward. A new contract should be approved before the current one expires in April. (TD)
