Sheriff Steve Bush asked the council to approve $25,000 from the County General-Sheriff fund for a study. The request prompted pushback from Commissioner Dale Bagshaw, who said, "I don't understand why it cost $25,000.00 for a study." Council member Jim Freiberger suggested the sheriff's department should cover part of the cost. The motion to approve the appropriation was moved by Denise Konkle, seconded by Dale Bagshaw, and passed 6-1 with Freiberger voting no.
