Jail population steady at 69 on average; staff cite staffing-driven costs
Summary
The jail reported an average daily population of 69 inmates (56 men, 13 women); officials said salaries and medical costs (including more mental-health coverage) drive jail expense variability in the 2027 preliminary budget.
County jail staff told the committee the facility averaged 69 inmates on the reporting date, with 56 males and 13 females; probation-incarceration averaged 40 and pre-sentence incarceration averaged 22. "We've seen an average daily population of 69 inmates, 13 of those being females, 56 males," the jail presenter said.
Staff said most jail expenses are wages and noted increases in medical and mental-health coverage that make year-to-year costs difficult to predict. Those personnel and medical expenses are reflected in preliminary 2027 jail budgeting, which staff discussed as part of the sheriff's office request but which the committee did not finalize at the meeting.
