FORT PIERRE, (KCCR) — An inadvertent error has created a shortage of funding for the Stanley County Sheriff’s Office by the Fort Pierre City Council. Mayor Gloria Hanson says she has discussed the issue with Sheriff Brad Rathbun…
A contract has been in place for approximately 25 years that has determined the funding Fort Pierre provides to Stanley County for law enforcement services. Acting Finance Officer Twila Hoffrogge says the departure of former Fiance Officer Roxanne Heezen is part of why the shortage happened…
Stanley County Auditor Phil Burtch says her concern is that Fort Pierre is now, technically, in violation of the funding agreement…
The agreement calls for a percentage of funding not a set dollar amount so city officials had no way of knowing how much should have been budgeted. The city plans to work with Stanley County officials this week to correct the error.
