Probation asked for a $20 transfer to cover overtime, said it will purchase five-year-warranty body armor for 13 sworn officers (about $14,000), and announced a community-service RFP due Oct. 1 to replace an expiring contract.

Probation staff requested a $20 transfer from the day-reporting salary line to overtime to correct a payroll shortfall; the transfer was approved by the committee.
