A county official presented the jail's proposed budget for the next fiscal year at $6,249,100, with the county contribution listed as $1,000,371 and a request that the court accept the submission ahead of the April 1 deadline.
A jail official presented Pulaski County Fiscal Court with a proposed jail budget for the coming year totaling $6,249,100 and asked the court to accept the submission before the April 1 deadline.
The presenter, identified in the record as Anthony (staff member), said the budget "stayed the same" and that the county's contribution would remain $1,000,371, funded from occupational tax revenues. He told the court no immediate approval was required but that the budget must be submitted by April 1 for audit purposes.
Anthony said the proposal includes cost-of-living pay adjustments for employees funded in part by a U.S. Department of Health grant and by salary savings the jail identified. He said there were no major changes to the overall spending total.
The presentation was informational; the transcript does not record a formal vote on the jail budget during the meeting. The budget presenter asked only that the court note the submission and that it be included in the meeting minutes for the record.
