Summary

After a prior presentation and PowerPoint briefing, the sheriff's department requested an additional appropriation for equipment of roughly $110,000; commissioners voted to advertise the appropriation for public hearing.

A representative from the sheriff's department presented an additional-appropriation request tied to equipment purchases and reminded commissioners they had previously been briefed and shown a PowerPoint on the subject.

"You've already been briefed and PowerPoint was presented to you regarding that," the sheriff's representative said during the agenda item introducing the request. The county moved to advertise the appropriation ($110,000 for equipment) so it can be considered formally at the advertised hearing.

The motion to advertise was made and seconded on the record (motion made by Joe; second by Steve) and carried. Staff will include the request in the upcoming hearing schedule and provide the detailed appropriation paperwork for public review prior to the hearing.
