These cuts will not be finalized until Sept. 30.
This comes a day after Eaton County and Delta Township released a joint statement saying contract negotiations are underway in an effort to preserve the Delta Patrol.
The county and township released a joint statement Thursday afternoon confirming the negotiations as the current contract is set to expire on September 30.
Any potential agreement will require approval from both the Eaton County Board of Commissioners and the Delta Township Board before finalization.
