Sheriff reports 47 jailed, announces donated K9; council approves small uniform reimbursement
Summary
The county sheriff reported 47 people incarcerated, discussed meal cost and travel miles, announced a donated narcotics/tracking K9 for public events and tracking, and the council approved reimbursing duplicate uniform charges back into the uniform account.
The sheriff reported to the Orange County Council that 47 people were currently incarcerated in the county jail, down from a recent high reported in the meeting. The sheriff also gave operational figures and travel mileage and said the department received a donated K9 from a kennel in Playfield, Indiana that will be trained primarily for narcotics detection and tracking and used for public education and search work.
On a routine administrative item, the sheriff explained the county paid $1,755 for a uniform line that had been billed twice and requested returning $175 to the uniform account. Council member Chad made the motion to reimburse the funds and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
The sheriff noted the donated dog will be certified and the kennel supplied equipment and vet care at little or no county cost. No additional county appropriation for the K9 was recorded at the meeting.
Next steps: The sheriff will proceed with training and certification and follow up on any budgetary needs if they arise.
