Circuit Court moves two probation salary increases to SAPS to ease general-fund pressure
Summary
The Circuit Court requested mandated 2025 salary increases for two probation positions. The court administrator proposed moving the increases from the general fund to SAPS (state-collected fees); commissioners accepted the reallocation and asked for supporting documentation.
PERRY COUNTY — The county’s circuit court asked commissioners to record mandated salary increases for two probation positions in 2025 and to take the costs out of SAPS (state-administered fee revenue) rather than the county general fund.
Speaker 1 summarized the court’s request and said the court administrator (Lucy, per the packet) wants the increases categorized under SAPS for 2025. The two positions and their updated minimums were read aloud in the session: one position’s new minimum was cited as approximately $72,005 and the other as about $64,003; county staff clarified the starting-point account codes used for the general-ledger view.
Commissioners asked staff to forward the supporting documentation and confirmed they would shift the requested increases to SAPS as the court requested. Staff noted that the rest of the court’s lines would remain unchanged unless separately mandated.
What happens next: Staff will collect the court’s documentation, formally record the SAPS reallocation in the budget, and confirm the payroll and fringe calculations for Social Security and retirement.
