Undersheriff Chris Herbel and Sheriff Admin Terry Martin proposed a $1,799,520 2027 budget (12% increase) including wage increases, two vehicle replacements, a three-year vehicle rotation for deputies and funding for two FLOCK cameras.
Undersheriff Chris Herbel and Sheriff Administrative Officer Terry Martin presented the department's 2027 budget request of $1,799,520, a 12% increase over the prior year. Herbel said the request includes wage increases intended to keep department salaries competitive in the current labor market and outlined a vehicle-replacement plan that would replace deputy vehicles every three years (90,000-115,000 miles) and administrative vehicles every five years.
The budget request also includes funding to replace two vehicles in 2027 and allocates money for two FLOCK automated license-plate-reading cameras. The department indicated it is evaluating lease options and payment plans for vehicle procurement. Commissioners did not vote on the budget at the meeting; the request will proceed through the county budget process.
