Commission Minutes--June 2, 2003 2602 MOTION, passed Mr. Meyer moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded that if there is money in this year's Sheriff's Department budget by line item transferring, Sheriff Rudnick is authorized to advertise for the position of jail lieutenant, preparing the necessary documentation according to county personnel policies.
