Dunbar said the detention center made a $25,000 donation to the county for the month and will be providing another in the next couple of months. He said the center had purchased four reliable transport cars at a total of $10,400 since opening February of 2011. Of this cost, $6,500 was paid from county funds, of which the center has repaid $4,000, leaving $2,500 he hopes to get to the county as soon as possible.

Dunbar provided the court with updated policies and procedures to look at and sign off on the first of the month. He said also that they have a new jail inspector, Mike Coomer. Coomer had been a jail inspector prior to this appointment.

The court voted affirmative to transferring $50,000 to the jail fund from the general fund. Additionally, the court voted to transfer $50,000 from the general fund to 9-1-1 dispatch.
