Sheriff's office seeks acceptance of two highway-safety grants including $5,000 'Bike Safe' allocation
Summary
The sheriff’s office requested acceptance of a recurring $5,000 'Bike Safe' grant to support motorcycle-safety training and a patrol grant that would cover 25% of two positions' salaries and benefits for another year to sustain traffic enforcement and education efforts.
Chief Burchett presented two highway-safety grants for acceptance: a long-running $5,000 allocation for the 'Bike Safe' motorcycle-safety training program and a patrol grant that would reimburse 25% of salary and benefits for two traffic enforcement/education positions for a further year.
Burchett introduced Captain Zeman (named as his replacement and the next chief deputy) and described how the grants have supported training, equipment and traffic enforcement focused on high-accident corridors and young drivers. He asked the board to accept the funds; commissioners thanked the chief for her service and agreed to place the grant acceptances on consent for the regular meeting.
