I'm not understanding what you're saying here. Why would the sheriff cut his patrol presence in half? Or even by any?
If SG isn't going to take over law enforcement then their budget isn't too small. In fact, all you really need is enough to have a police chief.
If SG is going to take over law enforcement then your assertion that their LE budget is too small, is valid. However why would EBRSO continue to patrol and police the SG area if that's the case? They don't patrol the city of BR. They could pull out and reduce their presence by 50%. (SG is half of the unincorporated area).
If EBRSO continues to patrol SG then that isn't fair to the city of BR and they should demand the same treatment. They pay the same taxes to EBRSO as SG will.

I think I understand what you're getting at and I'm pretty sure you misunderstand how the $30/person was arrived at.
They took the $3 million the SG budget says the new city would pay to the sheriff for extra police protection (to make up for the lost protection of BRPD no longer going into SG when the sheriff requests assistance from BRPD) and divided by 100,000 residents of SG.
So that $30/person is the "extra" allocation for police protection over and above what SG (and BR) residents are currently paying for the sheriff in existing taxes.
At least that's how I interpret how the $30/person was derived.
