Sheriff Donny Youngblood sent a request for additional law enforcement for the March Meet at Famoso Raceway next month.
The motion would provide 23 deputies at the meet over the course of three days and would cost just under $13,000. According to Youngblood this "will be paid for by the owner of the race track."
The meet is scheduled from March 2 to March 4.
** A previous version of this article read that the funds were coming from the county. It was not clear from the agenda where that money was coming from. **
