Committee approves jail reorganization projected to save roughly $113,000 annually
Summary
The executive committee approved a jail staffing reorganization intended to improve operations and save about $113,000 a year; leadership said the plan pairs sergeants in "power-shift" roles and expects additional revenue from housing prisoners.
The committee approved a proposed jail reorganization aimed at improving operations and reducing payroll costs. Jail leadership said the plan would place sergeants in 'power-shift' assignments to free time for necessary supervisory tasks and allow the jail to function with fewer higher-cost overtime assignments.
"This is a solution we came up with that's gonna save, annually roughly a $113,000," the presenter said. The package also anticipates additional revenue from housing 25 prisoners (staff projected that revenue could contribute more than $400,000 toward county goals, subject to final budget figures). The motion to accept the reorganization was moved by Johnson, seconded by Peterson, and approved by voice vote.
