12. 13. Commission Minutes--February 18, 1997 1589 Mr. Meyer asked about Dean Wawers' duties once he is transferred to the Sheriff's Office, and Sheriff Rudnick said he will be assigned to the investigative staff and the supervisor of that division will determine who responds to what calls. Mr. Koenig said one of the things Mr. Goff asked about is leaving a computer printer in the State's Attorney's Office. The Sheriff said that would be no problem if the computer is compatible with their equipment. John Goff, State's Attorney, said as far as he knows, it is compatible. He said the printer was purchased at the same time as the computer and it was housed in Mr. Wawers' office but he would like to maintain the printer. Sheriff Rudnick was agreeable. Mr. Goff said he wanted to reiterate that this issue began last fall in the budget process. Having the investigative services in-house over the last number of years has been enjoyable and helpful, however, it has reached a point where, in order for him to have the necessary personnel to conduct the core responsibilities in the office, he could forego those services in-house. He said Mr. Wawers had indicated a desire to be transferred. Mrs. Schneider asked if there was anyone in the audience who would like to make comments about the transfer. Hearing no further comments, she invited a motion. MOTION, passed Mr. Koenig moved and Mr. Meyer seconded to transfer an investigator from the State's Attorney's Office to the Sheriff's Office effective immediately; that all furniture, investigative equipment, a computer and the currently assigned vehicle be transferred to the Sheriff's Department with this move. In addition, the budget currently operating out of the State's Attorney's Office shall transfer to the Sheriff's Department for the maintenance of the position; and two oak wood chairs to remain in the State's Attorney's Office, at Mr. Goff's request. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. VOUCHERS, Approved MOTION, passed Mrs. Quick moved and Mr. Koenig seconded to approve Voucher No. 99,158 through No. 99,695. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
