Commissioners and sheriff agree: We need more deputies on the road and working in the jail
The commissioners did not dispute the need for eight additional road deputies. If anything, they favor Woods bringing on more. They also support Woods proposal to hire four more detention deputies and four more detention assistants at the Marion County Jail, where all agree the existing staff needs reinforcement.
The commissioners objection was Woods plan to spend money elsewhere, such as five additional call takers for non-emergency calls at the communications center. The county believes that task can be handled by its existing staff.
The County Commission on Tuesday approved a $360,000 project for the courthouse parking garage.
County officials said the money is expected to come from the general fund. Commissioners Jeff Gold, Carl Zalak, Michelle Stone and Kathy Bryant voted yes for the funding. Commissioner Craig Curry was absent.
The money is needed to fix the fifth floor of the Marion County Judicial Center parking garage, which county officials said is in need of immediate repair in order to prevent structural damage to the remainder of the parking garage.
Though the first four floors are scheduled to be repaired, county officials said, the fifth floor was identified as a priority at the conclusion of an extensive inspection.
