Sheridan County coroner warns of budget overages after high emergency call volume
Summary
County Coroner Dr. Robert Byrd told commissioners April 13 that the Coroner’s Office expects to exceed its March and April budget due to increased emergency response calls and staffing overtime; he provided a proposed budget amendment for reallocation and asked the Board to note the situation.
Dr. Robert Byrd, Sheridan County coroner, informed the Board at the April 13 staff meeting that his office expects to exceed its budget for March and April because of higher emergency call volume and related staffing and overtime costs.
Byrd provided a handout proposing a budget amendment to reallocate funds between line items to cover those overages. He emphasized the overage did not require immediate action but wanted the Board to be aware and prepared to consider a formal amendment when staff prepares the paperwork.
The coroner’s briefing did not include a dollar figure for the expected overage; Byrd asked the Board to accept the handout and monitor the recommended reallocation. The Board did not vote on the amendment at this meeting. The item will be carried forward for consideration as part of the county’s budget amendment process, with a draft previously noted for circulation on April 21.
