Commissioners reviewed and approved several jail-related budget adjustments, including an increase in the jail health-care contract from $685,000 to $710,000 and the addition of two jailer salary lines effective July 1.
Staff asked the board to postpone final approval of the jail IT contract item until the auditor confirms whether the county’s general IT contract covers the jail’s needs; commissioners voted to accept the jail budget items except for that specific IT line, which staff will bring back for final consideration.
A motion to accept the jail-related items (excluding the IT contract) carried by voice vote; staff said they will return with the IT-contract reconciliation at the final budget session.
