Woods County commissioners approve transfers to fund $400 monthly pay increase, open jail fund account
Summary
At a Woods County Commission meeting, commissioners approved multiple transfer appropriations to cover a $400 monthly base pay increase for about 400 full‑time county employees and authorized a new account in the sheriff’s revolving jail fund to pay a hired jail supervisor.
Woods County commissioners approved several transfer appropriations at a meeting to cover a $400 monthly base pay increase for roughly 400 full‑time county employees and to establish a new account in the sheriff’s revolving jail fund for a hired jail supervisor.
The action included multiple item acknowledgments on the consent agenda: transfers from district CIRB accounts to district personal services, a resolution to open a new account within the sheriff’s revolving jail fund to pay a jail supervisor, a transfer from sheriff M&O to personal services, and a larger transfer from general personal services to personnel services to cover the $400 monthly increase. "So he's gonna pay her out of that account. So we needed to make it make that account or open that account up," said Board member 1 (Board member) during the discussion of the jail fund account, referring to the newly established account.
Commissioners discussed that the $400 amount is per month. "400 a month," Board member 1 said during the discussion of the general personnel transfer. The board asked where the money would come from; a speaker noted the funding would come from the county general fund.
The transcript lists department allocations related to the $400 monthly increase, including the sheriff's office, the commissioner's office, E‑911, visual inspection, and the county clerk. The specific dollar allocations in the transcript were not clearly recorded and are therefore not specified in this report; a commissioner said, "And that's, yeah. That's going to take care of that," regarding the transfer to cover the increase.
Votes and formal actions on the items were taken on the record with the board answering "Aye" when asked for approval. The meeting record shows the motions carried on the items referenced during the discussion.
No additional executive‑session directions or follow‑up deadlines were stated in the portions of the transcript covering these items. Staff will process the approved transfers and the newly authorized sheriff's‑fund account according to county procedures.
