FY27 includes sheriff staffing, insurance increases and $4.4M in roof and jail repairs
Summary
The FY27 proposal adds five sheriff's positions ($447,000), increases employee insurance coverage (an estimated $4.5M), and lists $4.4M in capital projects including jail doors and four roof restorations.
Bernita Campbell said the proposed budget includes targeted public safety and capital investments to maintain operations and court needs. “We are adding 5 additional positions for the sheriff's office” to support security in the State Court building after the addition of a fifth state court judge, Campbell said, noting the associated funding of $447,000.
Campbell also listed capital priorities with an estimated combined cost of $4.4 million to address jail doors and roof restorations at Probate Court, Locust Grove Gym, Fairview and the Heritage Museum. She added the county will cover 100% of employee insurance costs for those on the county health plan, an increase she described as $4,500,000.
