Sheriff asks for training approvals, vehicle equipment purchase and $66,200 COVID reimbursement application

County administration presented several sheriff's office items for the board's consideration: three local training expenses (dog warden training at $900; a deputy's interdiction mastermind course at $249 on May 10; and a $695 leadership-series registration for Lieutenant Mike Nutt), authorization to advertise for purchase of safety equipment for deputy vehicles to be received by May 4, 2021, and a request to apply for $66,200 in 2020 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding to reimburse coronavirus-related expenses.

Staff said the safety-equipment purchase was part of a previously funded CIP project and that the COVID-funding application requires no county match. The items were presented with a staff recommendation for standard procurement and grant application procedures.
