County commissioners this week
approved a contract that makes sure the county gets paid when the sheriff’s
department has to serve papers in child support cases.
The contract between the State
Department of Revenue and the County provides for State approved payments to
the County when the Sheriff’s department is required to serve papers on
individuals involved with the cases.
The Sheriff’s Department usually
charges a fee for that service of either $20 or $70 which is set by law, but
they don’t collect the money.
The county does that.
With the contract, the County can
be reimbursed at a rate of 66% which helps offset the costs of collecting the
money.
The contract will run for 3 years
beginning July 1st.
