Summary
The commission accepted the sheriff's FY2025 settlement report and, pursuant to West Virginia Code 11-a-1-17, approved additional compensation of $15,000 after finding the sheriff met the statutory threshold.
Commissioners accepted the sheriff settlement for fiscal year 2025 and approved additional compensation for the sheriff under West Virginia Code 11-a-1-17. County staff reported the settlement is in compliance with state code and that the sheriff met the 85% threshold required for payment of the additional commission. One commissioner moved to approve the payment and noted the additional compensation amount as $15,000. The motion passed by voice vote.
Kelly Palmer presented the final report for fiscal year 2025 on behalf of the sheriff and said the 68-page settlement showed the office was "in the black." After acceptance, the commission approved the additional statutory compensation, noting state code requires payment when the threshold is met.
