The Todd County jail reported it held 107 inmates in August — 72 state inmates and 35 county inmates — and provided revenue details at the regular commission meeting.
Speaker 6 told commissioners the jail recorded $74,461.38 in housing revenue for August, with $3,703.08 listed as state income and $2,598.63 in fee revenue that included booking and medical fees. "The checks have been given to the treasury," Speaker 6 said.
Speaker 6 also announced the jail had been approved for an $11,750 grant "which will be used for just retrained special purpose K‑9 ... and also training handler on locating narcotics. Grant will be completely funded," and said the grant covers the K‑9 and handler training.
Commissioners discussed broader jail funding concerns, noting state population changes and that there is limited or no state reimbursement for pretrial time; Speaker 2 observed that the county has infrequent circuit court dockets, which can lengthen case processing. The group also discussed overtime and labor rules related to K‑9 handler duties and whether overtime would be covered under grant or by department funds.
The transcript does not record formal action beyond announcing the grant and discussing budgetary implications. For complete financial detail and any follow‑up implementation plan, refer to the official minutes and jail financial reports.
