Floyd County approves $25,000 study for sheriff; one councilor objects
Summary
The council approved a $25,000 contractual-services appropriation for the sheriff's office. Commissioner Dale Bagshaw questioned the cost and Councilor Jim Freiberger opposed the motion; the appropriation passed 6-1.
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.
The minutes do not include details on the vendor, scope, or timetable for the study. No amendment or cost-sharing arrangement was recorded at the Feb. 11 meeting; the council approved the appropriation as requested.
