Recent History & Background

• The County's Jail has experienced significant revenue

losses since Feb-March 2016 when MDOC began

transferring “full rate” State Inmates.

• The County was financially forced to begin housing

some State Inmates at a “reduced rate.”

• Revenue loss reached a tipping point in May 2017 after

the County Jail spent down all its reserve cash funds.

Plan” in May/June 2017.

• Board and Warden adjusted the FY 2018 budget to

close gap on revenue and costs.

• County Jail is fully operational WITHOUT a millage
