Votes at a glance: Faulkner County quorum court approves a slate of sheriff, jail and grant funds
The Faulkner County Quorum Court approved a series of budget line items and special funds during a scheduled budget session, with most approvals recorded by voice vote.

Key approved funds included Fund 1000.0400 (County Sheriff, county general) and Fund 1000.0418 (County Jail). The court also approved juvenile grant funding (Fund 1000.0433), commissary pass‑through accounts, multiple criminal justice sales‑tax budgets (including Fund 3407.0421), Sheriff's Automation (3007.0438), Drug Control (3015.0425), detention facility budgets (3018.0437), and a Rapid DNA grant (3531.0400). Several grant funds were recorded as zero‑budget items or were zeroed out and approved as such.

Many of the voice votes were summarized in the transcript with the presiding justice calling for 'ayes' and recording that the items passed; the transcript does not contain roll‑call vote tallies or named vote records. The court also noted capital improvements funding (Fund 1810) is supported by a recurring 0.9‑mill allocation that sustains an annual $1 million savings used for building and asset improvements, and that those reserves will contribute to an expected jail project.

Three budget items were tabled for continued consideration at the Thursday follow‑up session, and staff were directed to reconcile pending invoices and line‑item numbers before that meeting.

Provenance: the fund motions began in the sheriff budget sequence and continued through the capital and grant budgets later in the meeting; voice votes are recorded throughout the transcript.
