RE: PREPARATION OF THE SHERIFF’S SETTLEMENT

President Cartmill stated that Mr. Bell’s proposal would be for $80.00 per hour, not to exceed $4,000.00.
Tom McComas, Sheriff, stated he appreciated Mr. Bell being available to answer questions, however, he would like to do as much as possible in-house in order to keep expenses low. Sheriff McComas further stated he would like the option of requiring Mr. Bell’s services if needed and he had instructed his staff to keep a very detailed account of his services.

Bailey, Commissioner, moved to approve to pay Tom Bell $80.00 per hour, with time documentation, on an as needed basis to help with the Sheriff’s Settlement, not to exceed $4,000.00 and to be paid from contractual services.
