Spencer County Fiscal Court reviewed a proposed 2024–25 jail budget during its March 18 meeting and approved a $100,000 transfer from the general fund into the jail fund.
Judge Executive Scott Travis presented the jail budget packet showing proposed receipts and appropriations that total $708,230 for FY2024–25 and said the figures "will be implemented in the budget that the Judge will present to Fiscal Court for approval." The packet lists detailed line items including jailer salary, deputy jailers, jail housing, inmate medical and benefit matches.
Separately, the court approved an invoice for inmate housing from Shelby County Detention Center for $38,850 (invoice presented in the meeting packet). The court also approved multiple fund transfers presented as part of the regular bills and transfers action, including the $100,000 transfer to the jail fund.
No final fiscal‑year budget adoption occurred at the meeting; the judge indicated these numbers will be integrated into the formal budget proposal the court must adopt in a future session.
Provenance: Budget tables and transfers were part of the March 18 packet and discussed under the jail budget agenda item.
