Committee discusses sheriff's radio tower options and staff reclassifications; no votes taken
Summary
The Oneida County Public Safety Committee reviewed radio tower maintenance contracts, a proposed county-site tower lease and potential reclassifications to save costs in the Sheriff's Office; the committee did not take a vote on the tower or staffing changes.
Chairperson Russ Fisher and committee members reviewed a package of items from the Oneida County Sheriff's Office, including options for radio tower maintenance, potential reclassifications of three positions and a proposal to lease county land for a new tower.
Sheriff Grady Hartman and staff outlined that reclassifying the evidence technician, telecommunications lieutenant and mechanic roles could generate savings and that leasing county property could be an option for a new tower (Exhibit #3). The package also included discussion of a proposed tower location map and the 2026 non-exempt wage schedule. The committee discussed options but did not vote on any tower lease or staffing reclassifications during the meeting.
The committee listed the Sheriff's Office budget for a future agenda and will revisit these proposals in subsequent meetings; no formal motions or funding approvals for the tower were recorded at this session.
