Sheriff reports new deputy; commissioners approve vehicles and interlocal pact with Carlton VFD
Summary
Sheriff Boulton said Charles Kline will begin as a deputy on Christmas Eve. The court approved two new patrol vehicles funded by an ICE Grant and accepted an interlocal agreement with the Carlton Volunteer Fire Department; votes were recorded 4-0 with Judge Yates abstaining.
Sheriff Boulton told the court that the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office hired Charles Kline as a deputy, with his first day slated for Dec. 24, 2025. There was no discussion of a burn ban at the session.
The court approved an estimate from Paradise Conversions for two new patrol vehicles to be purchased with ICE Grant funds. Commissioner Dickie Clary made the motion, Commissioner David Ogle seconded, and the motion carried with four recorded yes votes and County Judge James Yates abstaining. The court also voted to accept an interlocal agreement with the Carlton Volunteer Fire Department after a motion by Commissioner Clary and a second by Commissioner Wagner; that motion likewise passed 4-0 with Judge Yates abstaining.
The transcript does not specify further procurement details such as vehicle model, total vehicle cost, or contractual terms; the Sheriff’s Office will proceed with implementing the purchases under the grant funding.
