Overtime costs for the Houston County Sheriff’s Department are up due to a busy court system and turnover in the communications department.
Since October 1, Sheriff Andy Hughes reports the two areas have cost the taxpayers 962 hours of overtime.
“We were allocated $75,000 for overtime,” Hughes told county commissioners Thursday. “It kind of looks like we are way over budget in overtime, but actually we are not.”
Hughes’ department is being reimbursed $11,000 from highway safety grants and $22,742 from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs for overtime pay.
