County to advertise additional appropriation for sheriff vehicles after request
Summary
The sheriff requested additional appropriation to cover vehicle loan interest and payments; commissioners agreed to advertise an increase to $62,400 as a safe estimate and will bring the appropriation back for signature next month.
The council agreed to advertise an additional appropriation after discussing a sheriff request for vehicle financing.
Council members said the sheriff requested about $59,000; staff calculated an estimate of $62,400 to cover additional interest payments until formal sign‑off next month. The sheriff has funds available in an interlocal agreement, and staff said bringing the figure up slightly would avoid shortfalls if interest accrues while the council completes approvals.
A council member moved to advertise the additional appropriation and another seconded. The council voted by voice in favor; members indicated approval verbally ('All in favor say I'). The clerk will place the appropriation on next month’s agenda for formal signature and appropriation. The exact recorded vote tally was not specified in the transcript.
