Commission approves annual court bailiff contract with county sheriff
Summary
The commission approved Contract #26‑25, an annual intergovernmental agreement with the Administrative Office of the Courts for court‑perimeter and bailiff services; the contract covers up to 10,920 hours at a rate of $26.86 per hour.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Cade Palmer described Contract #26‑25 — an annual agreement with the Administrative Office of the Courts to provide court perimeter and bailiff services. Palmer said the contract terms are unchanged from the previous year and cover services at the county courthouse.
Commissioner Lee Perry asked whether sheriffs' pay and funding levels could be increased through legislation; Palmer said the state budget process occurs in July and any change would need to be pursued at the legislative level. Commissioner Perry moved to approve Contract #26‑25; Commissioner Bingham seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Contract terms in the meeting record show a maximum of 10,920 hours at $26.86 per hour (maximum budget $293,311.20) for the contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Invoices are to be submitted monthly to the AOC for payment.
