Kay County Sheriff Steve Kelley requested an additional $89,500 in the FY 2026–2027 temporary appropriations presentation to cover cost-of-living adjustments for 26 employees, overtime expenses, rising fuel costs, and longevity pay. The request was presented as part of the countywide Estimate of Needs discussion on June 29, and board members questioned multiple line items before voting on temporary appropriations.
The request was considered alongside other departmental proposals during the Estimate of Needs presentation. The board ultimately approved the temporary appropriations motion (50% interim funding for most accounts) and separately approved select accounts at 100%, but the minutes note that the full budget (Estimate of Needs) was presented and discussed, not finally adopted at this meeting.
