The May 11, 2026 Public Safety Committee minutes detail an in-depth discussion with Sheriff Main about a proposed law enforcement contract between the Village of Lake Isabella and the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office. The concept would have municipalities share the cost of two additional deputies to increase countywide coverage while providing dedicated patrol within the Village, including marine patrol. The Sheriff discussed rotational scheduling, minimum coverage of six hours per day, the option for expanded shifts in summer, overnight patrols, reporting transparency, ordinance enforcement, and a new QR-code-based resident engagement system.4‑mill, four-year public safety levy starting in 2027. While the City of Mt. Pleasant currently provides some police services (as reflected in the check register), the Sheriff’s proposal appears to be a potential change in provider and service model that will require implementation support, community engagement, and possibly integration with existing systems (CAD, reporting, ordinance processes).For vendors, this is an early signal of a likely law enforcement contract shift, opening opportunities for body-worn cameras, records systems, public engagement tools, or supplemental security and enforcement services once the agreement and millage are finalized.

The committee also discussed marine patrol coverage, FOIA processes, data reporting, and a new QR-code system managed by the Sheriff’s Office, suggesting a technology and communication component to the service transition.
