Review of] Potential Agreement for law Enforcement Services  Council members have expressed concerns with al lack of entorcement of underage driving of golf carts and speeding within residential areas on town streets. Due to a rash of residential area vehicle break-ins within the gated community, some Council Members also feel there may be an intrinsic value associated with "dedicated" law enforcement coverage within the town limits, as well as a more visual presence of law enforcement dedicated to the business community. Town Manager Lee Rollins provided clarification to the distinction between streets within the gated and: non-gated portions of the Town street system. Also provided was a 2015 versus 2017 comparison oflaw enforcement activity within the corporate limits oft the' Town of Bermuda Run. Town. Attorney, Brian Williams also provided clarification regarding the official action that can be taken by a deputy within the Town.

Also, it was stressed that the additional services may set unrealistic expectations from residents. One of the big plusses that the Mayor related is speed control for Kinderton Village, which has been a major complaint. Another positive would be more visibility oft the Sheriff's department and "acting versus reacting" to situations that may occur within the Mayor Ken.
