Sheriff proposes contracting third‑shift courthouse security to save roughly $50k–$141k
Sheriff proposed eliminating four third‑shift courthouse security positions and issuing an RFP for private security coverage; vendor quotes ranged from $79,000 to $104,000 and replacing current staffing could save roughly $50,000–$141,000 depending on contract selected.
The full story
The sheriff told commissioners that since the county took over courthouse security the office has had difficulty filling third‑shift sergeant and other positions and proposed running an RFP to contract third‑shift security coverage. Eliminating two full‑time and two part‑time internal positions would reduce current personnel costs by about $141,000, the sheriff said, and vendor quotes received during market research ranged roughly from $79,000 to $104,000, with one at about $90,500.
