Sheriff and jailer give monthly reports; court approves sheriff budget amendment and partial excess fees
Summary
The court accepted monthly reports from Sheriff Bill Elliotte and Jailer Jason Wilson, approved the sheriff’s fourth-quarter report and a sheriff budget amendment, and accepted partial excess fees — all motions recorded as unanimous.
The Whitley County Fiscal Court received the monthly report from Sheriff Bill Elliotte and the report from Jailer Jason Wilson during the Jan. 20, 2025 meeting. The court also approved the Whitley County Sheriff’s fourth-quarter report for 2025 and a sheriff budget amendment.
The court recorded a motion by Magistrate Edmondo Cima, seconded by Magistrate Scotty Harrison, to approve the sheriff’s budget amendment; subsequent motion language recorded acceptance of the sheriff’s partial excess fees and an appropriation transfer and a directive to pay a claim back to the sheriff. Each motion is recorded as having passed unanimously: "ALL VOTED YEA!."
The minutes list the reports on the agenda but do not include details of the sheriff’s or jailer’s reports, budget amendment amounts, or the size of the partial excess fees. County staff (sheriff’s office and treasurer) are responsible for implementing any approved budget transfers and documenting the financial details in the county accounting records.
