OMB Director Baird pointed out that is a separate special <br />taxing district and we cannot co -mingle the funds, and some <br />discussion ensued re the possibility of contracting for some <br />services. <br />Chairman Scurlock emphasized that he just did not want to <br />fund six dispatchers in two different places. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved <br />manning the 911 station for central dispatch and <br />directed that staff get together with Administrator <br />Balczun and come back with a recommendation as to how <br />this should be financed. <br />C. Bulletproof Vests for Deputies <br />Sheriff Dobeck informed the Board that it appears he will be <br />able to turn back to the Commission this year about $60-80,000, <br />depending on the overtime associated with last week's tragedy. <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that is about enough to pay for <br />the new communications positions, and Sheriff Dobeck stated that <br />if the Board would like to put that back in his budget to pay for <br />those positions, he certainly would have no problem with that. <br />However, there are enough funds available even over and above <br />that $60-80,000 to purchase 105 bulletproof vests for his men, <br />which is what he would like to do. The Sheriff felt if his <br />officers had been provided with these vests, perhaps Deputy <br />Kaczkoski would still be with us. By transferring some of this <br />money, he felt he can commit to the Commission that he can still <br />give somewhere between $60-80,000 back over and above the purchase <br />of these vests. They do not have any vests at the present time. <br />He advised that he has had a budget amendment prepared to cover - <br />the above transfer if the Board wished to approve it. <br />109 <br />ROCK F � t 944 <br />SEP 6 <br />
