requested a correction to the May 7th minutes to read:
This committee would like to have .a written protocol for deceased

and munitions for the ERU. Motion to approve the minutes after

Motion to approve the bills of �$8891.71 by Krueger/Mehls.
Carried.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Johnson is requesting a full time
permanent secretarial position. No staff has been added since
1993. The number of cases has increased over the last three years
(almost doubled since 1996) and we should have over 14,000 cases
in 1999. Consensus of the committee is there is a real need for
more help. There is adequate space in the office for an additional
secretary. Motion by Mehls/Krueger to approve the full time
position for a cost of $41,000.. Carried. Roll call vote - all
yes. Motion by Krueger/Irwin to approve the bills of $1546.08.
Carried. Carried.
VIEW OF JAIL PANELS: Panels arefinally in place and almost
finished._ The committee will view the new equipment in July.
SHERIFF'S REPORT: Hillstead reported we have received the Drug
Task Force grant. He informed the committee of the moves that
havebeen made to new positions. We have hired more female
jailers also.
Hillstead reported on the concert Memorial Day weekend in
Somerset.

three fatal accidents during the month of May, a 20 yr. old
female, her 1 yr. old son and also a 77 yr. old male. Both were
car accidents.

for the Sheriff's department and $36,682.70 for the Jail.
Carried. Average daily population was 96, down a little for May
due to the construction in the Jail. Revenues for the month of
May were $141,594.83, most of which is returned to the general
fund.
NEW POSITIONS: Hillstead requested a position reclass for Jail
Sergeants. Sergeants in the jail are pay grade 7 and sergeants on
patrol are a pay grade 8. These two positions should be the same
grade. Maybe there will be more interest and desire to work in the
Jail if there were these positions to advance into. Discussion
was held on the importance of the sergeant positions. Hillstead
requested four sergeant positions;::for the Jail for a cost of $5303
per position. Motion by Irwin/Krueger to add 4 non -union jail

yes. Motion by Krueger/Gunderson to request the review of a move
from pay grade 7 to grade 8 for -.all non -union sergeants. Carried.
Roll call- all yes.
Hillstead requested the temporary investigator position be made
permanent. We have received grant money for another investigator
and would like to make this position permanent. We have six
full time investigators, to work strictly on drug cases which only
leaves four investigators for all the rest of the county
investigations. Motion by .Krueger to add a full time
investigator second by Mehls. Carried. Roll call vote, all yes.
Hillstead requested three additional patrol officers. Hillstead
explained the response time between calls and getting to the
scenes is too long. He explained the real need for more patrol
officers. Irwin was excused at 11:45 a.m. Motion by Mehls to
approve hiring of the three new patrol officers and not to be
contingent on the COPS grant. Second by Speer. Carried. Roll
call vote- all yes.
Martell requested one law enforcement clerk. This is not a new
position but was left vacant as of 5/9/97. We need to fill this
position at this time. Motion to approve the law enforcement
clerk by Krueger/Mehls. Carried. Roll call all yes.
Chief Deputy Volkert reported one of the drug investigators needs
a new pager. Motion by Krueger/Mehls to take $66 from the Drug
fund to buy a new pager. Motion by Krueger/Mehls. Carried.

them from Child Support. Motion by Krueger/Mehls to approve
