Sheriff's office budget approved; overtime totals highlighted

Wabasha County Board of Commissioners · December 22, 2025

Summary

The board approved the sheriff's 2026 budget. Staff reported overtime budgets — $80,080 for the sheriff's department and jail, and $901 for boat and water — and offered to supply multi-year overtime comparisons at commissioners' request.

County staff presented the 2026 sheriff's office budget and answered commissioners' questions about overtime. The presentation listed revenues (reported as $674,807) and an expenditures figure that appears inconsistent in the transcript; staff stated $80,080 was budgeted for overtime in the sheriff's department and $80,080 for jail overtime, with $901 budgeted for boat and water overtime.

Commissioners asked whether overtime is typically exceeded; staff said the county usually exceeds the overtime budget and offered to provide historical budget-versus-actual overtime figures for all departments. After discussion, the board approved the sheriff's office budget as presented.
