REQUEST BY SHERIFF FOR FOUR OFFICE ASSISTANT III POSITIONS:
Mr. Rodney Proctor informed the group that the sheriff was
requesting new positions due to the following new legislation:
(1) Effective December 1, 1995, Carrying Concealed Weapon Permits
(CCWP) Law, (2) Effective April 1, 1996, Strengthening of the
Domestic Violence Laws (3) Effective January 1, 1996, the
Registration of Persons Convicted of Certain Criminal Sexual
Offenses. The CCWP will require personnel to:
a. accept applications for gun permits
b. conduct background checks
c. determine that applicants do not violate any of the 11
stated prohibitions
d. acquire & submit a full set of fingerprints
e. issue emergency permits
f. revoke or suspend permits where five specified
conditions have occurred
Commissioner Boone asked how much activity could be estimated
after December 1, 1995, with the CCWP law. Proctor said they

states reveals a participation rate of between two and five
percent of the population would seek a permit. Last year, the
sheriff's office issued 2700 permits for the purchase of pistols.
Proctor mentioned he felt that with the county growing the
permitting procedure would be on a continual basis.
Commissioner Johnson asked how much training the employees would
need. Proctor said he felt that two weeks would be sufficient.
The department is evaluating how much decision making
responsibility will be given to the employees.
Commissioner Boone asked if office equipment was available, and
Proctor said they had made some acquisitions out of the recent
