Board meetings and strategic plans from City of Checotah
The Law Enforcement Advisory Board meeting addressed the survey options, with a motion to table the survey being passed. Discussions covered the potential need for community direction and feedback, referencing House Bill 333 and a public petition. The board also discussed and voted on recommendations to the City Council, including continuing to pay for sheriff invoices and forming a committee for detailed discussions with the Sheriff and County Commission concerning budgets and funding for a local law enforcement contract. The committee will include the Finance Officer, Finance Advisor, and a Council Member.
The meeting addressed the MLCT contract for AFR, which aims to provide municipal financial services to the City of Choteau, including preparing the annual finance report and yearly closing entries. The council also approved the September 2025 claims. The mayor announced the signing and filing of the law enforcement contract by the county. There was a request for the public to refrain from flushing 'flushable' wipes to prevent damage to the sewer plant. A concern was raised about parking near the Wagon Wheel obstructing the sidewalk, and a solution is being explored.
The board discussed the possibility of renewing a contract with the Sheriff Department and the rising costs of the department. They also discussed the "double taxation" issue and the services provided by the sheriff beyond what they would normally provide. The board concluded that the cost of services will be larger than the city's current budget, no matter which option is chosen for local law enforcement. They also discussed the possibility of conducting a survey to gauge community preferences for law enforcement and their ability to pay for increased costs, and decided to seek guidance from the MSU Local Government Center on creating a survey. The board also discussed the types of questions that should be asked in the survey, including whether residents would support increased costs for law enforcement and whether they prefer a contract with the sheriff or reforming a local law enforcement.
