(KNZA)--The Doniphan County sheriff is seeking higher wages for deputies.
Sheriff Chad Clary on Monday requested the Doniphan County Commission consider increasing the starting wage scale for deputies so the sheriff’s department can be more competitive with area agencies and hire qualified personnel who would not need to attend a 14-week law enforcement training center.
The board took no action pending submission of a proposal by Clary based on area agencies wage scales.
In other business, Deb Duncan with Unity for All met with the Commission to request funding for the defunct DOVES program, which is now operating under the organization Unity for All.
The Atchison-based organization is a domestic violence safe haven for women and children.
Commissioners took no action pending the submission of additional information on the program.
Doniphan County Historical Society member Pete Duncan informed commissioners of the Kansas Historical Foundation tour to be held in Doniphan County on Friday.
About 60 participants will be touring the Tenant Baker House, Doniphan County Historical Society Museum and Doniphan County Courthouse.
