Sheriff seeks bigger staff
Varga asks again for two more deputies, cites overtime costs vs. salary, benefits
DIXON – Lee County Sheriff John Varga told the county board Tuesday that he is not going to give up trying to get two more deputies for patrol in the road division.
“I’m not going to go away,” Varga said. “I’m still going to ask for my two employees.”
Varga first requested the new deputies last month, but the board voted 17-9 on Oct. 16 to deny the request, citing a need to keep spending stable and a desire to hire a consultant to review staffing levels.
