Floyd County Jail Request Tops Overall Budget
KENTUCKY...
An emphasis on the jail budget request has the Floyd County Fiscal Court approving a first-reading of a $2.37 million jail budget Wednesday, with the largest part of that amount reflecting salaries at the facility. Salaries in total at the Floyd County Detention Center make up $852,000 of the overall budget. The largest portion of that made up from jail personnel at $591,000. Those records reflect a salary of $86,980 for Floyd Jailer Roger Webb and $43,360 for Assistant Jailer Kay Webb, his wife. The remaining salaries that round out the total are for medical personnel and cooks, according to the records. Included in the budget is $477,460 earmarked for debt services such as principal and interest on bonds, while equipment for building and maintenance is expected to require $50,000.
The budget passed Wednesday and will now be set for a second reading at the county next regularly scheduled meeting.
District 3 Magistrate Donny Daniels, before offering his approval and vote Wednesday, inquired if a representative from the jail would be present for that reading for further discussion of the budget proposal at that time. County leaders expect a representative to be present for the second-reading.
