As a follow up to yesterday’s press release, Crisis in County Government, failure to fund the Cascade County Sheriff/Coroner budget for 2009-2010. The date set for the public meeting to answer questions is November 12, 2009 at our Office 3800 Ulm North Frontage Road the time is 6:30 PM.
A statement has been made by the County Commission Chairperson that no cuts of personnel are required. This will be addressed at the November 12 meeting.
The fact is we identified a problem. In the 1980’s this office had 40 Deputy Sheriffs, in 2006 this office had 36 Deputy Sheriffs, last year, this Office had 35 Deputy Sheriffs. To date I have been forced to loose 3 more Deputy Sheriffs, leaving me with 32 Deputy Sheriffs.
This is an unacceptable trend and can not continue.
I hope to see you on the 12th of November.
Sheriff David L. Castle
