SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: Sheriff's Civil Automation and Debtor Assessment Vehicle and Equipment Purchases
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Adopt Budget Resolution increasing FY 2017-18 appropriations and estimated revenues for the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 in the amount of $152,000 for the purchase of vehicles for the Civil Unit (4/5 vote); and
