Sheriff updates inmate count and training; county staff announce budget hearing and roadwork purchase
Summary
At the Sept. 10 Franklin County commissioners meeting, the sheriff reported inmate counts and staff training, county staff announced a budget hearing for 6 p.m., and a road official said an extra pallet of crack-seal material would be purchased under existing spending authority.
During staff reports at the Sept. 10 Franklin County Board of Commissioners meeting, the sheriff and other officials briefed the board on public-safety and administrative matters.
The sheriff reported the county jail population at 74 inmates, with 64 housed in-county and 10 farmed out to other facilities. The sheriff also noted professional-development investments; he introduced Undersheriff Lasswell and reported Lasswell recently graduated from the FBI National Academy.
Derek, a county staff member, told commissioners a budget hearing was scheduled for 6 p.m. the same day; staff had been finalizing the budget up to the deadline.
A county road official reported a contractor, Dennis Brown, said an additional pallet of crack-seal material was needed to complete an Ohio-bound job and offered the pallet at a discounted price of $4,000. The road official said the purchase was within his spending authority and that no motion was required, so the work would proceed.
No formal votes were taken on the jail population update, budget scheduling or the crack-seal pallet; the items were recorded as staff reports and administrative updates.
