supervisor but the officer would be working in the Sheriff’s Office.
Danette York added that the humane officer position would be different than animal control. Danette
cited there are security concerns.

Undersheriff Rethwill outlined current staffing levels citing this partnership would allow them to reduce
their staffing level request.
