The lack of <br />any specific request by BLM will not limit the authority of the Sheriff to respond to any <br />situation in a fashion seen fit under State or local law. <br />2.3 The Sheriff will assign Deputies to work on the public Iands, waters, roads, and trails <br />administered by the BLM within the confines of and adjacent to Kittitas County. The <br />Deputies shall work shifts as scheduled between BLM and the Sheriffs Office. Most <br />shifts will be scheduled for the Yakima River Canyon area but other scattered BLM lands <br />may need occasional patrols. Assignment shall be for the period of this contract. <br />2.4 The Sheriff shall have the deputies coordinate with the designated BLM Ranger <br />regarding patrol needs and to exchange law enforcement information of benefit to both <br />the Sheriff and the BLM. <br />2.5 The Sheriff agrees to provide radio frequencies to BLM Rangers and authorize them to <br />use those frequencies when working within Kittitas County for communication between <br />Deputies working under the this agreement and the BLM Rangers. <br />2.6 The Sheriff shall provide coverage for patrols made during hours which will be <br />determined by the coordinating efforts between the BLM Ranger, and the County <br />Sheriffs Office POC, and/or the BLM District or Field Manager. <br />2.7 When requested by the BLM, the Sheriff may be asked to assist in special operations <br />(i.e., marijuana eradication, special events, execution of warrants), or for other <br />unforeseen or emergency situations. <br />2.8 Ensure that sworn personnel assigned to duties on Public Lands be made aware of the <br />provisions of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 470 as - 470 11) <br />and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (25 U.S.C. 3001 - <br />3013), regarding skeletal remains. Also, ensure that the County Sheriff's personnel <br />conducting the patrols, are instructed that, if possible, not to disturb what possibly may be <br />an archaeological site, on the belief that the presence of skeletal remains is indicative of a <br />crime scene over which they have jurisdiction, without first checking with appropriate <br />BLM Ranger and District management personnel. <br />3.0 CONTRACTOR FURNISHED MATERIALS <br />SOW - 2 <br />
