MURRAY â At its final meeting of the year, the Calloway County Fiscal Court on Wednesday approved the 2021 budgets for the county clerkâs and sheriffâs offices, as well as voting to purchase a new truck for the road department.
Before passing next yearâs budget for the Calloway County Sheriffâs Office, the court approved the amended 2020 budget to account for Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds that were received. The court also approved a change for the 2020 maximum amount the sheriff could expend from fees for deputies, assistants and other employees. That amount includes overtime, vacations, holiday pay and any other personnel expenditures. It was previously set at $1.3 million, and Sheriff Nicky Knight asked the court to increase that amount to $1.46 million.
