School contribution cut reduces Hartland's sheriff-contract reimbursement; township remains contract holder
Summary
Finance staff said Heartland schools reduced its share of the Livingston County sheriff contract from 30% to 20%, lowering expected reimbursements and producing a roughly $20,000 reduction in the township's projection for the contract line; the township budgets the full contract and records partner reimbursements separately.
Board members asked about a projected decrease in the sheriff-contract line and were told the change stems from partner contributions.
Susan explained that Heartland Schools opted to reduce its contribution from 30% to 20%, which translated into about a $20,000 reduction in the township's projected reimbursements for the sheriff contract. She clarified that the township is the contract holder with Livingston County and budgets the full contract price while showing expected reimbursements from participating partners (schools and an academy) separately in the budget document.
Board members said the change would be discussed again during the all-funds portion of budget talks and asked that staff add a note to the bottom of the revenue spreadsheet showing the updated partner contribution.
