County Commissioners sign bill increase for City Law Enforcement agreement

 

November 4, 2021



POMEROY–The Garfield County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) signed a letter notifying the City of the 5.7% increase in the Law Enforcement and Court Services Fees for 2022 at the meeting on November 1. Garfield County has provided law enforcement services to the City since 2001. The increase reflects the rise of the cost of living.

County Engineer Grant Morgan announced the county's acquisition of a second recycling container. The county now owns two, with a third company container in rotation with them. There will be two containers at the recycling station and a third being dumped. The commissioners hope it will help to smooth out the timing of recycling dumps.
