TIME REQUESTED BY SHERIFF DAN JOHNSON Independence County Sheriff Dan Johnson and Chief Deputy John Hilburn gave the council a copy of a Departmental Activity & Status Report for the month of January 2001. Chief Deputy Hilburn asked the council to consider a resolution that would authorize the financing of certain equipment to be used by the City of Batesville. Because of the passage of Amendment One on the 2000 ballot, cities and counties can borrow money for the purpose of purchasing equipment as long as the note is paid back within 5 years. Jan Smith with White River Planning and Development briefly explained the new act. Chief Hilburn said the county is going to purchase 4 new cars and equipment for the cars which will cost approximately $100,000. He is asking the City to do the same.
