Resident's request for security footage denied; commissioners to review complaint about bailiff
Summary
A resident said a request to the sheriff for building security footage was denied; the county attorney told him the denial cited a statute protecting such footage. The resident also confirmed he submitted a complaint about the District Court Bailiff; the board said it will review the complaint.
Abraham Ramos addressed the Chase County Commissioners during open forum to ask about the building security cameras and to report that his request for footage from the sheriff had been denied. County Attorney Burke said correspondence had been sent to Ramos citing a statute that protects security footage from being released.
Ramos told the board he had previously submitted correspondence regarding a complaint about the District Court Bailiff. The commissioners acknowledged receipt of that correspondence and said they will review the complaint as presented. No findings or timelines for review were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board did not take immediate action on the records request or the complaint during the June 23 meeting; County Attorney Burke indicated the denial was supported by statutory authority but did not cite the statute by name in open session.
