Sheriff’s Department Request to Fill Positions
Chris Ivers addressed the committee
on behalf of Sheriff Rick Whitney to request permission to create three Court
Security positions as identified by the Office of Court Administration. These positions are funded by OCA. Legislators Hopkins and Burdick asked if
these were new positions due to the building of the new courthouse and Mr.
Ivers responded that this was correct.
He commented that these positions are 100% state funded. Legislator Ungermann questioned if this
included both salary and benefits and Mr. Ivers responded affirmatively. A motion was made by Legislator Healy,
seconded by Legislator Hopkins and carried to create three Court Security
positions. Prepare Resolution
Chris Ivers also requested
permission to fill three positions of Correction Officer to backfill the three
Court Officer positions required by the Office of Court Administration. Legislator O’Grady commented that the county
will see some savings by having deputies filling the court positions and
filling the current positions with Corrections Officers. Legislator
Adjournment
