Sheriff reports jail activity, rising out-of-county contracts and new jail software rollout
Summary
The sheriff reported May commissary and account balances totaling $30,934.61, an average daily jail population of about 59, increased out-of-county inmate revenue tied to state capacity, and plans to begin Guardian software training for the detention center.
Sheriff's staff gave the board a monthly operations and financial briefing on May activity, noting commissary and kiosk balances of $30,934.61 and detailing commissions and revenue lines.
The sheriff said the jail's average daily population for May was 58.87 (high of 67, low of 51). He reported increased out‑of‑county contract revenue—$32,799.12 in the reporting period—attributed to state prison capacity constraints; the county is receiving the state rate of $95 per day for some held inmates. "A lot of that was some changes in the state holding a lot more parolees, and a lot more sentenced inmates that the prison is full," the sheriff said.
The sheriff described a planned rollout of the Guardian detention software to replace current cell-check processes, accelerate med-pass and commissary documentation, and add RFID-based checks; initial staff training was scheduled for the coming Thursday. He also noted a new hire: part‑time corrections officer Brandon Fieber, starting July 1.
On the county's license-plate-reader (LPR) audit, the sheriff reported 52,738 vehicle reads in May and 19 hits tied to criminal investigations; 46 follow-up searches were completed during the audit process.
The board received the report with no further action scheduled in the transcript.
