(K) The Sheriff is authorized to use any Metropolitan branch employee designated by the roster as a member of the Criminal Investigation Division as the Sheriff deems necessary for the purpose of investigating alleged criminal offenses which may occur in either the County or the area defined as Metropolitan. Further, recognizing that shift supervisors listed on both the County and Metropolitan branch rosters supervise both County and Metropolitan employees, said shift supervisors may be utilized to perform duties in both the County and the Metropolitan areas. Metropolitan employees who are designated as shift supervisors or members of the Criminal Investigation Division are authorized to use Metropolitan vehicles outside the area defined as Metropolitan. The remainder of the personnel serving the Metropolitan Branch, as approved each year per the terms of paragraph (D) of this agreement shall normally be scheduled to only work shifts within the Metropolitan area. If however, on an infrequent basis, the need arises for Metropolitan personnel to work a shift(s) outside of the Metropolitan area in order to provide adequate police protection for the citizens of Independence County, the Sheriff shall keep a record of such occurrences. A report of such occurrences shall be made to the Quorum Court and the City Council on or before October 1 of each year for the previous twelve month period. Any substantial use of Metropolitan personnel to work shifts outside the Metropolitan area may result in the reduction of funds provided to the County by the City. Further, both parties Lagree that each will notify the other, in a timely manner, of any intent or action to reduce or eliminate the funding for any positions currently funded.
