Discussion on Budget Amendment for Boating Safety, vessel replacement and maintenance —
Undersheriff Myers, said we would like to replace the 21 foot custom weld which was purchased
in 2002 used for SAR Marine Patrol only one with winter capabilities and navigation. On the
second engine and outdrive. We put ten years on this boat in two year time period and it's on
second engine and out drive. Commissioner Jewell said fishing boats get used for 50 years and
Undersheriff Myers said our boat gets used in a different manner. Request Board to transfer no
more than $80,000 in unused PUD project. We would like two years build up in that fund.
Commission Berndt asked if PUD didn't happenwhat would happen. The plan was we would
build up the vessel funds.
Commissioner Berndt asked is the money going back into ERR. Undersheriff Myers said no
ERR for vessels. He asked is the money being discussed what is left. Undersheriff discussed the
$60,000 budget amendment, that was not approved, that was sent last year for this and without
Judy here we don't know. Per Undersheriff Myers we are confident we covered all expenditures.
Commissioner Berndt mentioned we discussed jail maintenance issues. He asked do we have a
list, for priorities, Undersheriff said yes, we discussed what is done, but Patti should have a list.
Undersheriff said priorities were heating and water. These are priorities (boating and jail), but in
different divisions and operations.
On 12/18/2014 a budget amendment was submitted per Heather. KC S O has to match on VRF
funds to qualify grants; we have to also match that is why we requested the lease down there.
Commissioner Berndt asked what the cost to maintain is. Undersheriff said low maintenance.
The money has been sitting there since 2014 and as of today. Per Undersheriff, Judy said the
Budget Amendments are due by certain time. Commissioner Jewell explained the Budget
Amendment process due by end of year. Commissioner Berndt doesn't recall the $60,000
Budget Amendment from 2014. Commissioner Jewell said no, there are other priorities like the
jail. Spend money on jail should be priority over anew boat. Commissioner Berndt asked how
long to build fund to replace the boat. Undersheriff said minimum of 7 years. Depends on what
operations are, how much VRF is and grant money.
Per Commissioner Berndt, no to replacing boat, but no objective to some money, maybe $15,000
as a starter. Undersheriff said it would take away concern if something happened now.
Action taken — Per Commissioner Jewell and Berndt, approved budget amendment of
$15,000.00. Undersheriff Myers said we will send a budget amendment.
Discuss 2016 Budget — Undersheriff asked for an update. Per Commissioner Jewell, no
movement, waiting on fund balance, answer hopefully next week.
Other business — Undersheriff asked if we can order new vehicles. Paul said `do it'. Discussion
on extended warranty mileage for trucks are approximately 125,000, SUV 100,000 and 5,000 per
vehicle bumper to bumper (includes maintenance). Undersheriff said we are moving forward.
Commissioner Jewell mentioned to watch what the ending cost when vehicles come through
could have long term effect.
