Circuit Court seeks $235,000 general‑fund shift to stabilize probation services
Summary
Circuit Court leadership told the council that the adult‑probation supplemental fund is no longer sustainable and requested a $235,000 shift of premium and supplement costs to the county general fund to avoid a future emergency shortfall; the judge said the office cut $90,000 from its own lines and will return with a more detailed phase‑in plan.
Circuit Court leadership told the council the adult‑probation supplemental budget cannot sustain required salary minimums, rising insurance costs and reduced user‑fee revenue. Judge Ryan Hadfield said the court had already cut roughly $90,000 in discretionary and line‑item spending but recommended the county move certain staff supplements and the probation staff health‑insurance premiums—about $235,000 total—onto the general fund to stabilize operations.
