Bucks County board accepts August controller's report showing $3.5 million underrun
Summary
The Bucks County Prison Oversight Board voted to accept the controller's August 2026 report, which showed multiple correctional budget lines under budget for a combined $3,500,000 year to date, the board heard Sept. 9.
The Bucks County Prison Oversight Board voted to accept the controller's report for August 2026 after a brief presentation and a motion to approve.
Mr. Dougherty, the board controller, summarized the report and said the canteen, corrections and related lines are running under budget. "In all 3 lines, they are under budget for a total of 3,500,000 thus far," he said. The presentation listed current-month revenues for the canteen, itemized expenditures and encumbrances, and year-to-date budget-to-expenditure comparisons.
Board members had no substantive questions about the figures; the chair called for a motion to accept the report and the board voted in favor. The controller's report will be filed with the public record and made available to board members as part of routine oversight.
