Benzie County schedules jail millage resolution for March 12 after staffing briefing
Summary
Sheriff Rosa, Undersheriff Hubers and Jail Administrator Dan Smith briefed the Board on additional corrections staffing; the Board placed a Jail Operations millage resolution on the March 12 agenda and scheduled staffing and funding discussion for a March 12 study session.
Sheriff Rosa, Undersheriff Hubers and Jail Administrator Dan Smith answered commissioners' questions on Feb. 27 about staffing needs in the county jail and resource implications. After the briefing, the Benzie County Board of Commissioners agreed to place a Jail Operations millage resolution on the March 12, 2024 meeting agenda and to hold detailed discussion of funding and corrections staffing at a March 12 study session.
The officials present described the need for additional corrections staffing and responded to commissioner questions during the discussion, but no formal staffing decisions or funding approvals were made at the Feb. 27 meeting. The board vote to place a millage resolution on the March 12 agenda was procedural; a formal vote on any millage would occur at a subsequent meeting if the board advances the resolution.
The meeting then recessed briefly and reconvened to continue the agenda.
