taw ENFORCEMENT BUDGET: Rodney Proctor, Chief Deputy, attended the
meeting on behalf of Sheriff Redmond. Mashburn and Blumenstein
advised that comp time had increased for this department to a point
where it was unhealthy for the county. Proctor said the department
did have a strict policy established about comp time accrual. The
detectives (4800 hrs. last year) have the most comp time, but the
Child Protective Officer also has a large amount.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson for the staff to prepare a
budget amendment for the June 3 meeting in reference to law
enforcement comp time.

The sheriff has requested three new positions. They are:
Detective/ Narcotics Division, Detective/ Criminal Investigations,
and Civil Deputy-Sergeant-IVD Program. Commissioner Fortner asked
what happened to the position that was vacated (resignation) of
Major Hartley. Proctor said the actual position had been assigned
to the detective division and the duties were distributed to
various employees (himself included).
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to delete one detective
position from the law enforcement budget.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
JAIL: Proctor said recently the jail had 144 inmates. This was
not counting the weekenders.
Commissioner Boone asked about the rental payment ($1,650) for
a storage building. Proctor said this was actually a mini -storage
building that housed evidence (at times 30-40 bicycles) and an
overflow of papers/ documents. Boone also asked about the metal
detectors/ security costs for the Hall of Justice. Proctor said the
second level had some security; however, the first floor basically
didn't have anything. The magistrates deal with some very
emotional/stressful situations that could become volatile. A
private security agency would man the security equipment to be
placed in both the front and back of the Hall of Justice.

increase for Sheriff Redmond effective July 1, 1997.
