Commissioners cut jail staff request
County commissioners tentatively trimmed the Sheriff’s Department budget request from seven jailers to four with funding pending next year’s budget. Jail administrator Capt. Ollie Carnes said the four new jailers will serve on the third floor to address an inadequate inmate guard ratio noted by state inspector Joe Slater. The jail’s population averages 160 of a 171 capacity, and remaining positions depend on future population. Slater cited non compliance in plumbing and lighting. Budgeting changes include $150,000 to upgrade jail plumbing. Airport funding was tentatively raised from 10,000 to 70,000 for runway and grounds maintenance as budget talks continued.
