Base Budget Discussion

The base budget is the estimated minimum cost for providing continued services/operations for each division/ department. It is based on the prior year approved budget with adjustments. This budget shows how much it would cost in the next fiscal year to operate the same programs in the current fiscal year.

• Base Salary and Fringe Benefit Adjustments – The FY 21 approved budget included a 3% compensation increase that was contained in Special Contingencies. These funds were distributed to

County divisions off cycle during the budget year. In addition to the 3% compensation increase added to the base budget, the budget also includes an increase in the unemployment insurance rate from 0.23% to 0.53%. All other fringe benefits rates remain unchanged. • Jail Medical Expenses and Base Position Changes – In the past, the County employed a part-time jail doctor and two deputies with emergency medical technician (EMT) certifications that provided inmate medical services. Due to liability and pay demand issues, the Sheriff’s Office has not been able to adequately fund the medical needs of the jail inmates. In FY 21, the Sheriff entered into a contract with a third-party vendor to provide jail medical expenses. The total cost of this contract for FY 22 is estimated at $280,000. To help fund these expenses, the Sheriff is eliminating two county funded deputy positions (2 FTE) and the jail doctor position. These positions provide $167,440 in total base savings and the elimination of 2 full-time positions. An additional $96,047 has been reduced from the Regional Jail budget due to lower inmate populations over the past several years. The remaining $16,513 has been funded as an addendum below.

Addenda & Reductions Discussion

Addenda consist of dollars over and above the base budget target for operating and capital outlay expenses. Recommended addenda items are often funding provided for new initiatives or expanded services but may also include normal cost increases. Addenda reductions may reflect reduced revenue and/or expense needed to equalize revenue shortfalls.

• $16,513 is Added for Jail Medical Expenses – Additional funding has been added to cover the cost of providing medical services to inmates. As stated above, the Sheriff’s Office has not been able to adequately fund the medical needs of the jail inmates. In FY 21, the Sheriff entered into a contract with a third-party vendor to provide jail medical expenses. The total cost of this contract for FY 22 is estimated at $280,000.

To help fund these expenses, the Sheriff is eliminating two county funded deputy positions (2 FTE) and the

jail doctor position. These positions provide $167,440 in total base savings and the elimination of 2 fulltime positions. An additional $96,047 has been reduced from the Regional Jail budget due to lower inmate populations over the past several years. These savings added to this addendum of $16,513 provides $280,000 in FY 22 to cover the contract cost.
