Summary

The county sheriff reported July 28 that 18 inmates were being housed outside the county earlier that day (expected to fall to 16), provided a breakdown by neighboring counties and reported dispatch overtime and two vacant dispatch positions.

At the July 28 meeting of the Callahan County Commissioners Court, the sheriff reported inmate housing and staffing data, noting 18 inmates were being housed outside the county at the time the report was prepared and that number was expected to fall to 16 as two inmates relocated to residences in Middleton and Gatesville. The sheriff provided a county-by-county breakdown of inmates on the jail roster: four males and one female in Callahan County; nine males in Coleman County; and two males and two females in Taylor County, with one male and one female expected to be removed from the Taylor count when they are returned to residences. The sheriff also reported overtime figures for the pay cycle: dispatch had 37.75 hours of overtime and deputies had 0.75 hours, and said the dispatch division was two employees short. No formal action was taken on the report. Commissioners moved to accept the sheriff’s report as presented.
