Jackson County adopts Ordinance 6,086 to continue anti-crime program funding
Summary
The Jackson County Legislature adopted Ordinance 6,086 to transfer $2,180,329 within the anti-crime sales tax fund, appropriate $553,987 from the 2026 fund balance and authorize agreements for anti-crime programs at a county cost not to exceed $13,839,340.
The Jackson County Legislature on May 21 adopted Ordinance 6,086, a supplemental appropriation that reallocates funds within the anti-crime sales tax fund and authorizes outside agreements to support anti-crime, anti-violence, drug prevention and school‑based law‑enforcement initiatives.
The clerk read the ordinance into the record: "Transferring $2,180,329 within the anti crime sales tax fund and appropriating $553,987 from the undesignated fund balance of the 2026 anti crime sales tax fund and and authorizing the prosecuting attorney to execute agreements with certain outside agencies which are engaged in anti crime, anti violence, drug prevention, and treatment activities, and law enforcement school based initiatives and purposes at a cost to the county not to exceed $13,839,340," the reading stated. The ordinance text listed Vanessa Husky as the introducer.
A legislator moved to adopt the measure and, after a roll call, the chair announced the ayes had it and declared the ordinance passed. During discussion a legislator asked whether the appropriation was "over and above the budget," and another member explained the item is a supplemental appropriation — which is why the public hearing was required.
The ordinance authorizes the prosecuting attorney to execute agreements with outside agencies; the text read into the record set the maximum county cost at $13,839,340. The clerk completed the roll call and the measure was recorded as adopted by the body.
