File 3

EXTENDED DISCUSSION ON SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT

Connie received an email from the Sheriff on his budget; he has found enough money n his 2012 budget to purchase another vehicle….discussion on his 2013 budget. Sheriff requested 5 new vehicles and this would either pay for a fourth (includes one that is expected to be funded like last year by Chris Washington's budget) or $20,000 worth of tires…

12 Minute mark   Bob Stonecash – I think it should be noted that the Sheriff asked for over $300,000 more this year than he did last year. We reduced that to $193,340.72. Ahh his budget for 2013 is $3,774,441.72 and the entire county budget ahh is $10,199,615.74 which just off the top of my head would be almost 40% of the budget. Ahhm and it being the biggest department ahh rightly so that it would be the biggest part of the budget but of that $3,774,441 in 2013 his budget in 2009 was $3,503,048.80. So of all the cuts his budget is now more than what it was in 2009 when we were in fiscal distress and has to make those cuts so everybody should know that ahh due to ahh deputies union which raised it $100,000 this next year on salary increases due to a contract ahh that his budget has been restored yet he has not put on any additional deputies other than a dispatcher.  Ahhh I just think that people need to know that and that sort of thing goes unnoticed unless you make the cuts and in the future ahh I am sure that money coming to us being cut in all types of ways that the Sheriff's department is going to have to cut personnel the next few years. I am sure. That is a decision you guys will have to make but ahh when people come screaming and yelling to you that he has to cut deputies, it is because that money it's not because the money hasn't been there. Ahh it all has been restored and as far as $20,000 worth of tires; that's a lot of tires. How many tires is that David?

David Wesler – hmm one tire be a couple hundred bucks?

Bob Stonecash – Probably because they have to be performance tires. That's what I was figuring. That's a hundred tires. Do you think they're going to change a hundred tires? In a year's time? I don't either. Now what all goes into that tire line? Is that just tires or is that an expansion is that just a label? Where a lot of things in there?

Chris Day – What is that actual line item now?

Connie – .. 2013 will just be the car for $37,000 + 9,000 or somewhere there a bouts, I don't have it in front of me for the first year tazer replacements that we approved. Nothing else in there.

Bob Stonecash – When you are talking about car replacement, I forget what is it $20,000? What happens with all of the equipment that goes with that.. sirens

Bob claims that total law enforcement – Prosecutor, Judges and Sheriff's department is 80% of the budget.

Better listen to this discussion. I am tired of typing.

39.5 Minute mark    Bob Stonecash – I have one last note. I do appreciate the fact that I have fought for it for three years, there is finally going to be a staff car for commissioners. Thanks very much for your hard work on that.
