Sheriff and detention budget request includes proposed HR role, 5% raises and 10% fuel increase
Summary
In its FY 2026-27 budget request, the sheriff and detention office asked for a 10% fuel increase, 5% wage increases across staff, and proposed adding an HR-like position dedicated to the office; one lieutenant position is expected to be filled in mid-September.
Gary Taylor presented the Sheriff and Detention FY 2026-27 budget request, saying the office increased fuel by 10% to cover potential price uncertainty and set a 5% wage increase for all employees in the sheriff’s budget. He also described plans to fill an open lieutenant position around mid‑September and expressed a desire to reduce payouts of accrued comp time.
Taylor said the office is proposing a new position that would function like an HR employee but work specifically on sheriff’s-office personnel issues. The request does not specify a classification or salary range for that role in the transcript; county staff will need to define that position and its funding during the formal budget process. No formal motion or vote was recorded on the request during this meeting.
