Commission approves 2026 DSSSF grant acceptance; first reading to adjust sheriff's budget
Summary
Cole County accepted a 2026 Deputy Sheriff's Salary Supplementation Fund award providing $2,000 per deputy (total with benefits reported as $106,964) and held a first reading of a budget adjustment to incorporate the grant, to be returned for final action after a 10-day hold.
Cole County staff told commissioners that the county applied for and was awarded a 2026 Deputy Sheriff's Salary Supplementation Fund (DSSSF) grant providing $2,000 per deputy and asked the commission to sign the award documents.
On the record a staff member said: "We applied for the deputy sheriff's salary supplementation fund award and or grant, and we got awarded it for $2,000 per deputy. And so the grand total is with benefits, $106,964." A commissioner moved to approve and sign the grant award; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The staff member then presented a first reading of a budget adjustment for that $106,964 amount and said the commission would hold the reading for 10 days and then bring it back to change the sheriff's budget to allow for the grant.
One participant cited a different figure — "$10,696.04" — when the amount was read back during discussion; the staff-presented total remains $106,964 in the meeting record. The commission approved signatures to accept the grant and scheduled the budget adjustment to return after a 10-day hold for final action.
