Undersheriff pitches fingerprint fee fund; commissioners take no action
Summary
Undersheriff Greg Haraughty asked the Labette County commissioners to consider creating a fund from fingerprint or booking fees to pay for future fingerprint machines; the board discussed the proposal but did not move to act.
Undersheriff Greg Haraughty proposed that Labette County consider establishing a fund to collect fingerprint or booking fees to help cover the cost of future fingerprint machines, the undersheriff told commissioners at the Sept. 30 meeting.
Haraughty described the idea as a possible revenue source to replace or purchase equipment used by the sheriff’s office. The board discussed the suggestion but the transcript records no motion, vote, or direction to staff; no action was taken during the session.
The record does not specify projected fee amounts, implementation details, or who would collect and administer such a fund. Commissioners did not request a formal ordinance or resolution in this meeting, and the matter was not added to the consent agenda or set for future hearing in the transcript.
Because no formal motion was made, the board’s discussion at this meeting serves as a preliminary airing of the proposal rather than a policy decision. Any future action — including drafting an ordinance, holding a public hearing, or detailing fee amounts and administrative procedures — would need to be recorded in a subsequent meeting.
