He added that it is best if people who are familiar with the TDC process are
involved and are willing to help, but most of those individuals who have the
knowledge are also involved in the project at some level. He will do further

9. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA
A. Before the Board was a Discussion of the Proposed Traffic Team
Program.
Lt. Michael Johnston and Sheriff Les Stiles gave an overview of the
proposal. Sheriff Stiles said there is currently a two -person traffic team,
which is not adequate for the increasing level of traffic and accidents. The
traffic team had been eliminated a few years ago due to budget cutbacks.
Funding for the team was not included in the current budget, but recently
funds became available that can be used for this purpose because of cost-
cutting measures and the Legislature's decision to provide dollars through
the Community Corrections Act. The combination of the two resources
would allow the department to put two additional deputies and one
sergeant on the traffic team, plus providing some office support.
Although the resolutions authorizing these changes had not yet been
prepared by Finance, the Commissioners concurred that the Sheriff should
proceed with the necessary hiring process; and that the resolutions could be
formally ratified at the next Board meeting.
B. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of a Letter
Appointing Tom Schnell to the Hospital Facility Authority Board,
through September 3, 2009.
DEWOLF: Move approval.
DALY: Second.
