Significant Budget Issues
• Grants secured over the last several years have allowed the agency to keep pace with technology while avoiding expending local
funds.
• The Sheriff has been the host for the Regional Traffic Safety Coordinator for several years. The position is funded in small part by
other police agencies, larger part by the Sheriff, and in large part (80%) by the State Traffic Safety Commission. This year the Port
Orchard Police, citing budget concerns, discontinued their collaboration and funding portion ($2,500/year) of the Traffic Safety Task
Force.
• An increase in Public Record Requests, disclosure demands, criminal records, and grant activity reporting has identified a need to
undertake a major reorganization of all Sheriff’s Office records. This would potentially reduce costs while enabling the agency to more
effectively and efficiently manage our records.
• Continue to secure funds to maintain and upgrade our facilities in Port Orchard and Silverdale.
• School Resource Officer in North Kitsap School funding ($43,384) was cut then reinstated in part to ($36,000) per year.
• Tribal Casino Impact fees are to be negotiated in 2009. The past awards have been unpredictable.
Unfunded mandates continue to impact the Sheriff’s Office. These unfunded mandates include criminal history checks (Brady checks) for
all persons obtaining a concealed pistol license, public disclosure requests, hulk vehicle inspections, harvesting permits, domestic violence
prevention, service of process for Prosecutor’s Office and Court Appointed Counsel, service of Summons, Writs, Precepts, and Orders for
general public, sex offender registration, biological material evidence retention, receiving found property, child abuse training for a total
anticipated expenditure in 2008 of $960,376.
