body
Financial Impact:
This anticipated revenue will be utilized to fund the Sheriff’s Office Boating Unit.
Background Information:
This Financial Aid Program has been in place for well over 30+ years to fund the boating unit along with the boating taxes that the county collects. These funds cover one full time Sergeant salary and his back up which could be a Detective or Deputy listed on the Marine Patrol. It also funds some repairs on the boats, equipment, training, boat fuel, and mileage.
The Department‘s application requests funds in the amount of $398,015.34 but the state anticipates funding in the amount of $133,448, and requested the Resolution reflects the lesser amount.
