These areas include but are not limited to: 1. Clearly defined expectations regarding the hours of coverage and the days of the week of the coverage. 2. An appeal’s process or discretion by the City to reject a deputy assigned by the Sheriff’s Office to serve the City with cause. 3. The Sheriff’s Office should agree to enforcing local ordinances and writing citations as part of the City’s ordinances. 4. Presence and participation in regular City Council Meetings by a regular deputy, not whomever is working to ensure consistency and understanding with outgoing issues. 5. Potential markings on the patrol car outlining the unit’s primary responsibility to the community of “Tiffin”. 6. Sheriff Kunkel and the Tiffin elected officials may wish to conduct a site visit to Grimes or Bondurant before entering into a long-term agreement. 14 | P a g e
