Financial staff: 2026 estimates discussed; PUD billing to be reviewed
Summary
Finance staff told the Jail Finance Committee they discussed 2026 estimates and targets, noted an apparent PUD billing issue (accounts charged 'more as a hotel'), and said staff will pull and review bills and contact the PUD to correct the billing; investments and bond payments were also discussed.
Chris Kemp presented the committee's financial update at the Feb. 18, 2026 meeting, describing 2026 estimates and targets and raising a utility billing concern. Kemp said the county was "being charged more as a hotel vs. on the number of fixtures," and that staff will pull PUD bills, review them and contact the PUD to correct the billing.
Kemp also said the committee discussed investments and bond payments as part of the broader 2026 targets. The committee did not take a formal vote on budget adjustments during the meeting; staff will return with follow-up documentation as needed.
