SItERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, Vehicle use policy Sheriff Don Rudnick said he revised page two of the department's vehicle use policy relating to his department's personal use of County-owned vehicles. In terms of cost to the County, he said he used the figure of 20 cents per mile times the number of miles from the deputy's residence to the courthouse versus what it would cost in extra time if the deputies leave the vehicles at the Courthouse, He estimated that it would cost the County $18,000 more in deputies' time than what it is actually costing in mileage for personal use if the vehicles were left at the Courthouse. Mr. Wieland said the Sheriff's vehicle use policy requires constant review, as does the Sheriff's Department personnel policy manual which is somewhat different from the County's because of dealing with law enforcement. Mr. Shannon said he received a draft of that policy some time ago and gave it to the Personnel Department to have on file.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.

He said this could eliminate some travel expenses by training in the office. Mr. Wieland encouraged the Sheriff to provide Commissioners with a figure on the cost of the program and to obtain a contract to be reviewed by the States Attorney. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, Dive rescue team Sheriff Rudnick recommended tabling his proposal for a volunteer group through his department to provide trained divers to assist governmental agencies in underwater search and recovery of drowning victims, evidence, or other water related services. He said the Personnel Assistant questioned whether rescue workers could volunteer their time, and Mr. Rudnick is investigating this further.
