Public Property and Safety Committee Minutes
Key discussions included the implementation of a new Narcan program in partnership with local health and law enforcement agencies. The Sheriff's Department provided updates on current jail capacity and HVAC study reports. The Coroner reported on monthly death statistics and suggested a substantial salary increase given the workload. The committee reviewed and approved proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budgets for the Emergency Management Agency, County Coroner, and Sheriff's Department divisions (Corrections, Law Enforcement, Merit Commission, Courthouse Building, Public Safety, and Courthouse Security). New business involved approving supplemental budget requests for the EMA to acquire a multi-department UTV and for the Sheriff's Department to acquire four replacement vehicles and fund jail parking area completion, prioritizing these requests.
