When it came time for the Marshall County Commissioners to consider the Sheriff’s contract for 2021 during their meeting on Monday, there was some reluctance.
County Attorney Jim Clevenger said the contact was identical to the same one passed for the several years except for the amount. Next year the sheriff is to be paid $91,125.80.
Commissioner Mike Burroughs motioned to approve the contract and Commissioner Stan Klotz asked if the contract was up for discussion or asked if they were “obligated by law to just rubber stamp it?” Commissioner Kevin Overmyer said that it’s in the salary ordinance so there’s really nothing we can do about it.
