Meeting called to order at 8:02 a.m.
Present: Chairman Brett Wachsmith; Commissioner's Cory Wright and Laura Osiadacz, Sheriff Clay
Myers, Jim Goeben, Director of IT; members of Sheriff s Office staff.
Discussion on Technology & Facility Maintenance— Sheriff Myers mentioned he is working to update
financial impacts and changes, and this includes Technology, so Jim Goeben was invited for this
discussion. Sheriff Myers said IT was managing the purchasing of Licenses and then later we find out
that costs were based on computer not the number of users. As a heads up a Budget Amendment will be
sent to the Board to cover the remaining costs. Sheriff said we need to close the gap for process and
communication and would like an open communication and to seek solutions with IT and Maintenance
and bring clarity, "where does maintenance begin and where do we put things in the Budget?" License is
just one piece. I'm just bringing this to the Board to be aware of the financial impact. Commissioner
Osiadacz mentioned to have this conversation with Patti and Auditor's Office and not at this Law and
Justice Study Session.
Vehicle updates — Sheriff Myers gave an update on vehicle timeline. The last vehicle came in from last
year and FCI is working on the build. We are deciding on what to do with a vehicle that recently seized
up. Commissioner Osiadacz asking about the USFS vehicle and Sheriff Myers explained we have a
working Agreement with USFS and that includes the USFS vehicle. Sheriff Myers mentioned we are
evaluating the $8500 quote for the seized -up vehicle that is currently at AMI right now. So, the decision
right now is do we replace it or not.
Request Board Approval to reclassify one current half-time Courthouse Security Position to full-time
Sheriff Myers mentioned to meet additional courtroom requirements without substantial impacts on
courthouse responsibilities; we would like to make one current half-time position to a full-time position
this will be out of the three -tenths funds and not the General Fund.
Action — Commissioner Wachsmith made motion and Commissioner Wright approved. Commissioner
Osiadacz mentioned do not let this affect the General Fund and approved.
Review and discuss notifications and update protocols— Sheriff Myers asked what information on a claim
and what is the Board expecting. Commissioner Wright added a discussion is following this meeting.
Sheriff Myers added that the investigation was just finalized.
Other business — Commissioner Wright mentioned the Board posted for a PIO. He is not wishing to
change our PIO, he said these are some areas we can work on as we have reached that level of Facebook
and improving the county website and he would like this person to work the Sheriffs Office PIO.
