Funding for Deputy Position fails - Tryon votes 'no'
At the Board of Supervisors meeting held 7-5-12 consent agenda item regarding funding of a vacant unfunded Deputy position failed in a 3-1 vote with Supervisor Tom Tryon voting no.
The Deputy position became vacant with the advent of AB 109. According to statements made at Sheriff Kuntz Town Hall meeting June 7, 2012, in the final draft of the Community Corrections Partnership, the Sheriff Department did receive funding for one Deputy, that Deputy was assigned to the Probation department with the understanding that the vacant position created at the Sheriff Department would be refilled. While the Copper Gazette is not aware of any prohibition or monitoring of supplantation for AB 109 funds, the removal of a Deputy position within the Sheriff Department to support the Probation Departments use of AB 109 funds without backfilling the position originally funded by local taxes could be viewed as supplantation of funds.
