Public Safety - Nov 5, 2026
Money the board pulled from the Sheriff's car budget last budget season is being put back so the department can replace aging patrol vehicles before the year ends. The trade-off is a matching $600,000 cut to next year's vehicle budget. Expect roughly eight or nine new marked patrol cars on the road.
