  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
    (2) Comparison with Other Entities Within the County. The assigned staff shall determine whether the board or commission disproportionately altered the Sheriff’s requested budget as compared to other entities’ budgets within the county. The staff shall compare budget data from two previous years as well as the year being appealed and compare this data to other entities’ data within the county.
    (3) Comparison to Sheriff’s Data From Other Counties. The assigned staff shall determine whether the Sheriff has a similar amount of resources to provide law enforcement services to the county as compared to other counties of a comparable size and population. The staff shall compare law enforcement data for the two previous years and shall compare this data to other counties’ data.
    (4) Factual Disputes. Factual disputes that arise during the appeal process will be resolved by the Administration Commission.
