Hubbard County Sheriff Frank Homer, contacted after the meeting, said per statute, the sheriff’s department must provide coverage if the department disbands.

But no personnel would be added in the sheriff’s office, he said, noting the department covers roughly 1,000 square miles.

“We’re stretched to the limit now,” Homer said. “With another municipality, we’d be really stretched. We’d do it. We’re obligated. But you may not see the same response time.”
