HERMANN — Gasconade County Sheriff Mark W. Williams next week will ask for overtime pay for his deputies — or authorization to hire additional deputies — to make up for a staff …
On the department’s Facebook, the sheriff Monday announced that he would be seeking overtime pay for his deputies when he meets with the County Commission Thursday, Aug. 6. Absent the overtime pay, Williams said he would be forced to consider hiring part-time deputies to take up the slack created by the departure of deputies to better-paying positions in other counties.
