Bracken County sheriff reports 2024 financial surplus; fiscal court approves quarterly report
Summary
The Bracken County sheriff reported receipts exceeded disbursements for 2024 by $94,304; the fiscal court approved the sheriff’s quarterly financial report and received an activity update.
Bracken County’s sheriff presented the office’s 2024 financials and activity report and told the fiscal court receipts exceeded disbursements, producing a surplus to be returned to the county.
The sheriff reported that the 2024 budget was estimated at $832,375 and actual receipts totaled $868,970; disbursements were $774,666, leaving an excess of $94,304 to be returned to the court. The sheriff attributed the increase in receipts to higher commissions on tax collections, increased interest earned, more papers served and a rise in auto inspections. He also provided corrected posting details for one line-item (postage reimbursement) that did not change the total figures.
The fiscal court voted to approve the sheriff’s quarterly financial report by roll-call vote. The sheriff also presented a calls-for-service summary for Oct. 1–Dec. 31 and said a fuller list of criminal reports and statistics would be printed and provided to the court later.
Why it matters: The reported surplus affects county accounting and the sheriff’s office operations; the activity report gives the court an overview of service demand and outstanding tax collections.
Outcome: Motion to approve sheriff’s quarterly financial report — approved by the court.
