McNALLAN - WINDHORST
Motion to approve the agenda.
Adopted Unanimously
No action taken on the Wabasha County Policy and Procedure Manual. Will be completed at May 6 meeting. Below are some notes from this special meeting from Assistant Wabasha County Attorney Lisa Bayley:
Other questions:
4) Use of Take Home Vehicles: I was asked to locate the statutory authority for the Sheriff to decide where to leave law enforcement vehicles during off-hours. I believe that the authority contained in Minn. Stat. §387.03 Sheriff: Powers, Duties, covers this. It says:
This statute has been interpreted broadly to allow the sheriff to determine how he “keeps and preserves the peace of the county.” There is one statutory provision Minn. Stat. 387.29, Subd. 2 Sheriff: Motor Vehicle which says that the county board may provide the necessary motor vehicles for the sheriff to carry out his duties, but there is no provision for the county board to direct the sheriff how his to do so.
5) The other policies which were amended during our meeting have now been revised and you will be provided with a clean copy at the meeting. Break – 12:16 p.m. Reconvened – 12:30

Adopted Unanimously

Adopted Unanimously
DWELLE - WINDHORST
