Summary

The board approved Benefit Policies for a Jail Administrator and the Sheriff's Chief Deputy; both votes recorded Carter as opposed and Myers abstaining on at least one motion.

The DeWitt County Board approved a Benefit Policy for the Jail Administrator position in the Sheriff's Office (motion by Tilley, second by Farris). The roll call on that item recorded ayes from Walters, Werts, Witte, Farris, Ferguson, Hammer, Ryan and Tilley; Carter voted nay and Myers abstained. The record lists the motion as carried.

Later in the meeting the board approved a Benefit Policy for the Chief Deputy position (motion by Werts, second by Tilley) with the same vote pattern: one recorded nay (Carter) and one abstention (Myers). The motions were votes on policy language intended to set benefits for two sheriff's office positions; the board did not provide detailed benefit schedules in the meeting minutes.

The actions were recorded as formal votes with roll-call tallies. No legal citations or cost estimates were presented on the record at the meeting for either benefit policy.
