Sheriff Dillon to outfit new vehicle, presents Tri-Cities JJDA policing contract and Back the Blue distribution plan
Summary
Sheriff Dillon said he will order equipment for a new department vehicle, presented a Tri-Cities JJDA seasonal policing contract for 2025, and outlined distribution of remaining 2024 'Back the Blue' funds with specified conditional payouts.
Sheriff Dillon told Grant County commissioners on Feb. 19 that he will begin ordering equipment for a newly assigned department vehicle and will seek proposals for the installation of that equipment. He also presented a contract proposal with Tri-Cities JJDA to provide policing during the 2025 season.
During the same report, the sheriff outlined how remaining funds from the 2024 Back the Blue appropriation will be distributed: a one-time equal payment of $491.71 each to Sheriff Dillon, Deputy Moore and Deputy Dahl; $1,000 to Deputy Palmer upon completion of his eight-month probation period; and $1,000 to a new deputy hire upon completion of an eight-month probation period. The minutes record these amounts and conditions; no vote or further clarification of the contract terms appears in the minutes.
The board heard the sheriff's presentation and placed the items on the record; any procurement or contract approvals would be documented in future minutes if and when motions are made.
