From the meeting
On August 18, 2026 the commission heard Sheriff Ruhl's request to consider hiring one new deputy because calls for service, injury crashes, truck enforcements, domestic assaults, and protection orders were all up year to date. Ruhl said the Sheriff's Department may share an already cross trained deputy with Dispatch to reduce overtime. The commission did not approve a hire at this meeting; Ruhl said he will continue to work on the proposal.
This is a live staffing trigger that could lead to hiring and overtime reduction spending.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Richland County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
