Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard
Oakland County Sheriff Office
1201 N. Telegraph Road
Pontiac, MI 48341-1044
Dear Sheriff Bouchard,
The Paint Creek Trailways Commission would like to request a contract with
Oakland County Sheriff Office's Mounted Division to patrol the Paint Creek Trail
again this year. It has been a successful patrol program in the past, and our trail
users enjoy and appreciate their presence throughout the spring, summer and
fall seasons. Last season was very successful in terms of trail user safety, and
we believe the Mounted Division plays a large role in that accomplishment.
Last year's contract and contract administration seemed to work well for both of
us. I am assuming those arrangements could be continued, but I am open to
other conditions if you prefer. Please note that the Commission can only process
invoices once a month, on the third Tuesday. I would be happy to work with your
fiscal division on an invoice timetable to insure prompt payment for services.
I am requesting Mounted Patrols weekly from May 26 through October 28, 2007.
Depending on the current payrate for Mounted Patrol Deputies, our request is not
to exceed 600 total hours of paid time, including prep time for your officers and
horses.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. If possible, please advise me if
this is feasible by March 13, 2007, so I may property obtain Commission contract
approval prior to the start of the season. If you have any questions, please feel
to contact me.
Sincerely,
liker\-(1A
