Board approves Sheriff’s Office reorganization tied to transfer of 9‑1‑1 operations
Summary
Ingham County commissioners authorized a Sheriff’s Office reorganization to absorb 9‑1‑1 oversight, approving position realignments with about $750,000 in costs (roughly $585,000 offset by millage funds and $165,137 for general-fund consideration).
The Ingham County Board of Commissioners on June 23 authorized a reorganization of the Sheriff’s Office to reflect transfer of 9‑1‑1 Central Dispatch oversight to the department.
According to the resolution, the transfer adds 72 allocated personnel to the Sheriff’s Office and prompted a 10‑month review to align staffing and duties. The reorganization lists about $750,000 in new and realigned position costs; the resolution states $585,054.17 of that total can be covered by 9‑1‑1 and Justice millage funds, leaving $165,137.34 for general‑fund consideration.
The resolution identifies 10 positions to add or modify and authorizes retroactive millage funding for certain roles effective Jan. 1, 2026. The Controller/Administrator was authorized to make necessary budget adjustments and changes to the position allocation list consistent with the resolution.
Committee minutes attached to the agenda show the Law & Courts, County Services and Finance Committees reviewed and recommended the change. The reorganization was adopted as part of the meeting’s consent agenda and recorded in the official minutes.
