Sheriff seeks donor funds for Watertown satellite office upgrades and dive-team certifications
Summary
The sheriff asked to use donation money to cosmetically upgrade the Watertown satellite office and to certify current dive-team members; commissioners approved using donated funds and asked for clarifications on scope and regional dive-team affiliations.
The sheriff’s office requested permission to use donor-designated funds for two purposes: cosmetic upgrades (carpet, cabinet and signage) at the Watertown satellite office and training and equipment for existing county dive-team members to secure underwater-certification and support dive callouts.
The sheriff's department representative said the office would not use taxpayer funds for the upgrades and asked to complete the work in late July. Commissioners asked whether the dive team is county-only or regional; staff said Clinton County has roughly 10 team members with about six trained divers and additional support roles. The board voted to approve use of the donation funds.
