Commission adopts resolution allocating SSUT funds for school resource officers
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution 25‑52 to determine the amount of Simplified Sellers Use Tax funds allocated for School Resource Officer distribution in the 2025–26 budget; commissioners noted last year’s SSUT contribution to SROs was about $2.1 million.
The St. Clair County Commission voted to adopt Resolution 25‑52 to set the amount of Simplified Sellers Use Tax (SSUT) funds to be allocated for School Resource Officer (SRO) distribution for the 2025–26 budget.
Why it matters: SSUT funds help pay SRO salaries and related costs; commissioners discussed the previous year’s SSUT contribution to SRO staffing as context for setting the upcoming allocation.
CFO Michelle Lakeville supplied figures for the previous year’s SSUT spending on SROs. During the discussion, she told the commission that last year’s SSUT expenditure for SROs was “Right at 2.1.”
Commission action: A motion to adopt Resolution 25‑52 was made and seconded; the commission adopted the resolution at the meeting (transcript: “All those no. Motion carries.”). The resolution had been tabled from the commission’s Sept. 23 meeting and was brought back for final action.
What’s next: The adopted SSUT allocation will be incorporated into the county’s FY25–26 budget documents.
