Henry County Sheriff's Office Budget Appropriations
Sheriff's Office stays ahead of the curve on Budget
 
The Henry County Sheriff's Office prepares a budget each year for submission to the County Board as part of the overall budgetary process. The County Board must approve the budget for each fiscal year, and the Sheriff's Office is expected to be fiscally responsible and stay within the approved limits.
 
For several years the Sheriff's Office has used a budgetary process that delays major expenditures when possible until the end of the fiscal year. By keeping spending to a minimum throughout the year and then "catching up" on essential purchases at the end of the year, the Sheriff's Office is able to keep a "reserve" available for any unforseen expenditures. Unexpected expenses are a part of everyone’s life, and government is not any different.
 
This has helped the county stay within its budget on several occasions. Examples from recent years include unexpected vehicle repair costs, one of which was several thousand dollars. In another example, a budgetary error caused an unforeseen jump in employee salaries. One year there was an accounting error that resulted in an unexpected expense involving employee insurance.
 
In each of these cases, the unforeseen expenses happened during the fiscal year and were able to be absorbed into the Sheriff's Office budget with little or no additional expense to the county. This would not have been possible if the Sheriff's Office had not been holding other expenses until the end of the year. Those expenses were then adjusted to allow the Sheriff's Office to stay close to or within its budget. If the reserve had not been available, the County would have had to cover the unexpected expenses.
 
Sometimes there are unexpected expenses that the County takes from the Sheriff’s Office budget that are expected to be reimbursed back to the Sheriff’s Office by the end of the fiscal year. The reserve has been able to cover several of these expenses and, due to other cost cutting by the Sheriff’s Office, no reimbursement was necessary.
 
Fiscal responsibility is not just a catch phrase at the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, it is how we serve and protect the financial interests of the citizens of Henry County.
