He told the council they are down on deputies with three (3) resignations and one (1) medical leave. Sheriff Anderson said he has a new Chief Deputy Sheriff; the former Chief Deputy Al Taylor had resigned and accepted a position as a city police chief in a community outside the county. Lt. Brent Pulver has been promoted to that position and Lt Travis Kennison will take Pulver's place as Homeland Security/Emergency Manager and Grant Manager. Mayor Greg Newton told Anderson they see his deputies in Mona City quit often, and added; they are doing a good job providing law enforcement for the city. Sheriff Anderson added, 'Mona makes a huge contribution, the extra money you pay for extra hours is a big help.' Anderson said he would like to see a collective agreement with all the cities in the county that would agree to do the same that his office has with Mona City. He has a list of qualified people who are interested in becoming deputies, but many of those seeking employment need to be post trained and the nearest time for training will be February 2018. Anderson said he has one goal he would like to see happen, and that is to get a local emergency planning committee going. 'We need to get more involved, we need to get more active with that and we need to train for emergencies.' The Utah Division of Emergency Management requires every city to have a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) Handbook.
