The rendition of such service, <br />the standards of performance, the discipline of the officer and <br />other matters incident to the performance of such service and <br />the control of the officer or officers so employed, shall remain <br />in the county. In event of dispute between the parties as to the <br />extent of the duties and functions to be rendered hereunder, or <br />the minimum level of manner of performance of such service, the <br />determination thereof made by the Sheriff of the county shall be <br />final and conclusive as between the parties hereto. <br /> <br /> <br />
