Benzie County authorizes $10,000 from jail commissary for deputy training and amends Canteen Services agreement
Summary
The board approved a $10,000 transfer from the Jail Commissary to support training and equipment for Corrections and Road Patrol deputies and approved an amendment to the jail Canteen Services agreement, with Sheriff Rosa present to answer questions.
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 22 approved two public-safety related items: an amendment to the Canteen Services agreement for jail food supplies, and the use of $10,000 from the Jail Commissary Fund to purchase training and equipment for Corrections and Road Patrol deputies.
Sheriff Rosa was present during the discussion to answer questions from the commissioners. Commissioner Sauer moved and Commissioner Warsecke seconded the transfer of $10,000 from the commissary account, to be split equally between the Jail Fund and the Sheriff’s Office Department Fund for training and equipment. The motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The transcript does not list specific pieces of equipment or the precise training courses to be funded; those implementation details were not specified during the meeting. The board also approved an amendment to the county’s agreement with Canteen Services and authorized the Board Chair to sign the amendment.
