Commission approves sheriff’s FY2026 settlement and additional compensation distribution
Summary
The commission accepted the sheriff’s FY2026 settlement (dated July 13) and approved distribution of an additional $30,000 deposit as sheriff’s commission compensation under West Virginia Code 11A‑1‑17, to be processed bi‑monthly per the sheriff’s directions.
A representative of the sheriff’s office presented the county’s fiscal year 2026 settlement, noting the tax and accounting staff completed the work quickly; the settlement document is dated July 13.
A motion to approve the sheriff’s FY2026 settlement as presented was moved, seconded, and carried by voice vote. The presenter also reported a deposit (receipt number 119091) of $30,000 from tax collections into the general county account for the sheriff’s commission. The commission moved to approve distributing the sheriff’s additional compensation in accordance with West Virginia Code 11A‑1‑17 and to disburse it on a bimonthly basis via normal county payroll processes.
Commissioners asked for a revised letter documenting the compensation distribution; staff said they would prepare and reissue the corrected documentation. No details were provided in the meeting record about the precise breakdown of the $30,000 among accounts or beneficiaries beyond the statement that multiple taxing entities contribute to the shares compensation.
