Summary
Year two of the Sheriff's three-year funding deal adds $6.05 million and eight new deputies, bringing the total General Fund request to $102 million. A $1.25 million reserve can absorb FRS, fuel or healthcare spikes. A lingering question remains about the Sheriff opting out of the county's health plan.
