The decision comes as the city's contract with the Glenn County Sheriff's Office is set to expire next week. Council members said their priority remains reaching a new agreement with the sheriff's office before law enforcement services are scheduled to end on June 30. Several residents and council members opposed the proposal, arguing that private security officers would lack the local knowledge and legal authority of sheriff's deputies.
