Will Boone County Taxpayers have to pay for Poplar Grove’s special protection?

As reported by the Rockford Register Star on 2-16-2010, Poplar Grove has yet to determine whether they will receive reduced protection from the Sherriff’s Department. See:  http://www.rrstar.com/boone/x196135208/Committee-OKs-new-taxes-holds-off-on-sheriff-s-vote 

But it appears that the Sheriff continues to provide the services and payments are in the rears.  The following is taken from the Boone County Finance Committee Subcommittee minutes 2-9-2010:

“ He [Ken Terrinoni, County Administrator] has not heard from the Village of Poplar Grove whether they plan to continue paying the current amount for police protection.  They are behind a few months on paying for this service”  [See the minutes below]

It appears that Poplar Grove is three months behind in payments.  The  list below was prepared based upon the monthly Sheriff’s Department Revenue Summaries that the Sherriff is required to submit to the County Board. 

Will the entire county end up paying for Poplar Grove’s special protection from the Sherriff’s Department?  Will the county be properly reimbursed for the extra  services granted by the Sherriff to Poplar Grove?  Oh yes, Poplar Grove’s old contract promised to eventually purchase a new police car for the Sheriff—will there be any settlement on this matter?
