Council committee accepts Marion County Sheriff's commissary fund report
Summary
The Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee received and accepted the Marion County Sheriff's Office commissary fund report, presented as a quarterly filing required under state and local rules. Councilors asked for clarification on recurring charges in the report.
The Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee of the Indianapolis City-County Council on Aug. 13 accepted the Marion County Sheriff’s Office commissary fund report covering Jan. 1, 2025, to July 1, 2025, a packet the deputy representing the sheriff said was submitted under changed state reporting rules.
Deputy Chief Williams, speaking on behalf of Sheriff Carrie Forstall, told the committee, “This new statute changes the frequency of the commissary report filings from semi annually to quarterly effective 07/01/2025,” and that the report and attachments were in the councillors’ meeting packet.
The committee briefly questioned the report’s recurring disbursements. Councilor Michael Paul Hart asked about a monthly $1,500 charge listed as a rental to “Gasoline Alley LLC.” Deputy Chief Williams responded that the cost pays for garage space used to store the sheriff’s office Polaris vehicles, ATVs, bicycles and motorcycles.
Chair Leroy Robinson said the item did not require a formal vote; the committee recorded acceptance of the report. No additional actions, conditions or follow-up assignments were recorded during the meeting.
The acceptance closes the committee’s review of the submitted commissary report for the stated period; the sheriff’s office letter identifying the change in reporting frequency was included with the packet.
