COMMISSIONERS REPORTS/COMMENTS
Update Regarding Commonwealth’s Sheriff Takeover Legislation. Chairman Chadwick noted there
is no new news regarding the state’s sheriff takeover legislation, noting it is still finding its way
through the process, and the state is looking at October 2009 for a possible adoption date.
Update Regarding County Budget Amendment Request for Use of Portion of Corrections Deeds
Excise Fund Balance. Chairman Chadwick said the Sheriff had previously signed off on the use of
$700,000 of corrections deeds excise funds for the construction of the new police station. He said
he recently went to a meeting in Boston with the County Government Finance Review Board
(CGFRB) to firm up the “deal” and was given a letter from the Sheriff rescinding his previous offer
to use the funds in question. County Manager C. Elizabeth Gibson said the County submitted a FY
2009 budget amendment to the CGFRB, noting there is approximately a $1 million balance in the
corrections deeds excise fund, and the County’s $700,000 request would still allow the Sheriff’s
budget to be fully funded. She said the holdup seems to be that the legislation is still not finalized;
therefore the county might have to make its request as a FY 2010 budget amendment vs. FY 2009.
The meeting was unanimously adjourned at 6:09 PM.
Approved the 24th day of March, 2010.
