Joey reviewed the prosecutor’s bills and said most items were standard; he specifically noted an annual charge for the office’s digital forensic machine used to download cell‑phone data during investigations. Jake reported detention bills totaling $11,792.46 with prepaid $168.72 and a total of $11,961.18; average daily population was four. He listed detention income for the month as Securus phone fees $148.99, state and federal food subsidy $640.47 and interest income $6,743.36, for total income of $7,532.82.
A court staff member reported April jury operations: 1,458 summons issued, 674 reminders, two grand jury dates, two jury trials (one went to trial), 90 jurors summoned and 47 failures to appear. Staff said many no‑shows typically respond to mailed reminders and will reschedule, so the failure‑to‑appear list is expected to decline.
The board approved bills and amendments for multiple departments by voice votes during the meeting.
