Selectboard approves amended Chittenden County Sheriff contract, hourly rate returns to $80
Summary
The board approved an amendment setting the sheriff hourly rate at $80 (down from a proposed $90), with no change to the overall budgeted amount; the motion passed 5‑0.
The Selectboard considered an amendment to the Chittenden County Sheriff contract that adjusted the hourly rate from $90 to $80 — restoring the prior year’s rate — while leaving the overall budgeted amount unchanged. Deb Jorschick moved to approve the amended contract for the next fiscal year and Julia Andrews seconded; the motion passed 5‑0.
Board members noted the change did not affect the total budget allocation for sheriff services. The amendment was communicated as a correction to match the prior year's rate rather than a new expense; no further action was required beyond approving the contract amendment.
