Sheriff: CHIRP grant awarded $31,000; board approves paying uncovered employee benefits from sheriff's budget
Summary
Sheriff Baugh said the state CHIRP grant awarded $31,000 but does not cover employee benefits; the board approved using $2,023.43 from the sheriff's budget (overtime account identified) to pay benefits.
Sheriff Baugh reported that the county's CHIRP (state) grant award for the new year is $31,000 but does not cover employee benefits. He requested that $2,023.43 be paid from his budget to cover benefits associated with the grant-funded work, and said he believes overtime-account funds can cover that expense.
Commissioner Rick Woodall moved to approve the funding request; Commissioner Tom Helmer seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The record does not specify which position(s) or benefit line items would be covered by the $2,023.43, nor does it list the precise grant terms beyond the award amount.
