 Sheriff Forrest Frazee and Undersheriff Casey Sheridan met with the Commissioners regarding the Model Traffic Code Ordinance requesting a county surcharge be added to the Model Traffic Code. The fund collected would be for the sole purpose of training and equipment for the department. This would require a separate account being set up to track the funds, which had been discussed this County Treasurer Baxter. The Commissioners wanted to know if this would replace some of the Sheriff’s budget. Sheriff Frazee stated that it would not, that much of the training that is required has not been able to be done due to the lack of funds. This surcharge would allow for the necessary training. The Commissioners told them to move forward with Ordinance procedure and to set up the account. The Sheriff’s Department will work with the County Attorney on the Ordinance.

Sheriff Frazee discussed having hired a new deputy when another deputy quit. Commissioner Koehler stated that the position had not being advertised. Sheridan stated that there were two deputies that quit. The first one was advertised and two applicants were interviewed. When the second deputy quit, the other applicant not previously hired was hired. The Commissioners stated that they are trying to establish a policy of always advertising for any opening. Sheriff Frazee stated that they generally do advertise but that he is not required by law to do so. Commissioner Koehler said he should have given the locals an opportunity to apply. Sheriff Frazee stated that his office has tried to get local citizens interested in working in law enforcement and has had very little luck. They are not interest because of the salary. Koehler said maybe a scholarship needs to be set up to train interested locals for law enforcement. The Commissioners encouraged the Sheriff to pursue working on a scholarship for law enforcement.
