Hr. Dorm]d Pr]ce, rorer P]or]4e Stete Troopor, stated that on
August 27, 1990, he presented a position pal~.r outlining suggested
budget cuts for the Sheriff's Budget. He read his position Into the
record, citing opposition to 890,000 In legal advice when services of
the County Attorney's or State Attorney's Office could be utilized.
it Ne q~eetioned whether 23 Court ILal]ffs are necessary. He noted that
I11 alterr~tive to the suggested Indianapolis Plan would be motor
pooling of patrol vehicles with one car being assigned to two officers
on separate shifts, resulting in a savings of taxpayer dollars In the
refuge of $5OO~O00. He reported that a savings of $154,000 could be
realized If the County's Hus~n Resources Oepartment provided the
screening for adsinistratlve and related support personnel;
could be saved by utilizing the County,s Purchasing Department; the
utilization of a County progras already In place rather than on-line
Interfacing ~lth the Clerk of Courts Finance Progra~ could save
· $~95,0001 ar~ expanding the County,s fleet contract to Include the
Sheriff's office could save $~04,996 in salaries and benefits. He
suggested the return of zero b~sed budgeting as opposed to st&cklng
budget practices and a thorough revle~ of the Sheriff's operational
and &dmlnistr&tive aandate by an ad hoc cossittee formally approved
by the Board of County Co~issioners to verify the legitimacy and
pr&ct]c&llty of the line ]tees proposed In the Sheriff*s 1990-91
budget. He advised that there could be & savings of $1,241,000. He
Indicated that the Sheriff,s Office has requested $76,000, excluding
· oftw&re packages, in computer equipment0 and he believes that other
equlj~ent sl~ould be researched for additional savings.
Hr. ~c~ees stated that the A~mnded Tentative Budget as of today,
reflects a County-~ide millage rate of 4.4490 which Is 13.5~ above the
rollback sillage rate. He advised that the aggregate ~111age rate
frol the T~t&tive B~tdget is 5.0144 which represents an 11 5~ increase
over the rollback millage rate.
