Advisers said restructuring the county administration could be needed, with plans for an in house group or external help. Commissioners approved additional funding totaling 200000 for the sheriff's office and 170000 for four departments, plus 30000 for 1993 payroll. The sheriff's budget was later raised to 100000 to place eight officers on the road, a move welcomed by township residents previously short of a full police force. Other funded departments include the Board of Elections 55000 Domestic Relations Court 50000 Veterans Services 40000 and the Adult Probation Department 20000, financed from sales tax gains and unclaimed funds.
