The Goodhue City Council unanimously agreed to a contract with the county sheriff just hours before the police department's final day.
The Goodhue City Council unanimously agreed Wednesday to a temporary contract with the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office to run from Thursday through the end of the year.
Narrowly avoiding having no policing, the city council's contract with the sheriff's office runs through Dec. 31, 2023. "I think the community is very excited for your presence here, and they've already noticed your presence so thank you," Anderson Buck said during Wednesday's council meeting. Former Goodhue Police Chief Josh Smith submitted his resignation on Aug. 9, with a full-time officer and five part-time employees resigning just two days later,Smith discussed difficulties in hiring officers at a council meeting last month, blaming low pay as a reason he saw no applicants for open positions. He noted that he was trying to hire officers at $22 an hour while other small departments were at least $8 more.
