Expenses
Over half of this budget is for Salaries and Benefits. Regular Salaries
increase by $17,655 or 10%. The increase is higher than normal and is
mostly due to a new employee being hired at a higher step than
budgeted in 2026.
Health Insurance decreases by $7,704. There are two employees that
are eligible for insurance coverage.
Interdepartmental Expenses will increase by $6,246 for higher IT

backup.

Budget Highlights
Sheriff's OfficeThe Sheriff's Office 2027 Current Service Level (CSL) budget increases tax levy by an additional $666,136 or 4% over the 2026 Adopted tax levy. Total Expenses increase by $781,493 or 5%, and revenues are increasing slightly by $115,357 or 9% from the 2026 Adopted Budget. A lot of theincrease is found in Salaries and Benefits, Supplies and Purchased Services. Two Jail Deputy positions were added to the 2026 budget, but theexpenses were offset by Overtime decreases and revenue increase. Overtime is flat in the 2027 budget. Eight positions are unfunded directly inthis budget rather than our Non-Department VAT number. Revenue in the 2027 budget is increased by $100,000 for jail boarding revenues fromthe State and Federal government for housing their inmates. Emergency ManagementEmergency Management (EM) tax levy is flat compared to the prior year. The EM budget continues to finish a fiscal year with actual results veryfavorable compared to the adopted budget. Expansion RequestsThe department has submitted six new expansion requests (all were also requested last year). The expansion requests are briefly discussed belowand at the end of this section all of the individual expansion requests are included.

NEW Patrol Deputy for Lumen Christi Catholic School and Court Services Security. The school would provide about $44,000 in funding forthe position with the County picking up the remainder. The estimated tax levy impact is $71,000. 3.
Adjust Jail Deputy paygrades higher to remain competitive. The estimated tax levy impact is $141,000.4.Increase the Dispatcher paygrades to remain competitive with surrounding counties.

Expense Summary
This budget is over 80% Salaries and Benefits which means it is asignificant driver on the tax levy. Salaries & Benefits increase by$478,612 or 5.2% over last year's budget. Regular Salaries increaseby $225,595 or 2% over the 2026 Adopted Budget. The departmenthas also experienced a number of retirements and turnover that isleading to new employees at lower pay rates. HealthInsurance increases by $266,739 or 12.8%. This budget includes eight unfunded (but still authorized) Dispatcherpositions. The number of vacant Dispatchers will vary depending onthe moment in time, but the department has consistently seen morethan six vacancies on average. Several other funded vacantDispatchers do not have any health insurance funding added to thebudget, and the assumption is that not all employees will utilize theCounty's health insurance. We strive to keep the Vacancy andTurnover estimate in non-department at a more conservative estimatedue to directly underfunding positions in this budget.
Supplies increase by $134,541 or 13%. Info Tech fees increase by$142,667 or 30%. Other accounts have slight increases or show adecrease. Interdepartmental Charges increase by $85,001 or 21% over lastyear's budget, and this is mostly due to the IT internal chargesincreasing for the Microsoft services and other software platforms. Purchased Services increase by $72,965 or 3.8% from last year'sbudget. This increase is primarily due to contractual cost increasesrelated to providing food and health services in the jail. Equipment increases by about $10,000 for vehicle replacements. All other expenses are relatively flat compared to last year's budget.

Revenue Summary
Revenues in the 2027 budget increase by about $115,000 over the2026 Adopted Budget. Fund Balance increases by about $15,000 tocover the expense of vehicle replacement. $100,000 is budgetedfor Jail Boarding Fees to house inmates from the State. $346,506 in Fund Balance is budgeted for the replacement of thevehicles. This is a change from prior years where tax levy was used tofund the replacement of vehicles.
This department is very tax levy dependent. The Sales Tax is usedthroughout other General Fund departments to decrease the need forproperty tax levy. A Sheriff's Office typically does not generate muchoutside revenues to offset expenses based on the type of services thatit provides. Only about 7% of the expenses are offset by revenues. The amount of tax levy needed has steadied over the last three yearsafter some years with increases that were eating up excess Sales TaxRevenue.

Mission
The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office manages these two separate funds. The Jail Assessment fund provides a guaranteed revenue stream to
provide funds for repair, maintenance, and renovations at the jail. The Jail Commissary Fund is a fiduciary fund to allow inmates to have a personal
account to purchase food and goods from the jail commissary.
Programs and Services
These two funds are administered by the Business Office in the
Sheriff's Office. The Jail Assessment Fund provides a revenue source
for critical repairs and renovations in the Jail. Funding can be held for
several years to cover the expenses of larger projects or individual
projects can be completed each year. The Commissary provides a way
for inmates to make purchases in the jail.
No tax levy is used by either of these Special Revenue Funds. The
largest category, Operating Transfers Out, is all found in the Jail
Assessment Fund. Expenses are transferred out to pay for capital
expenses in the jail. The other two categories are Purchased Services
and Supplies, and these are all part of the goods and services that
inmates can purchase while in the jail.

Agenda Item Information Sheet
To: Public Safety Committee
From: Christy Knowles, Sheriff
Meeting Date: September 15, 2026
Department/Office: Sheriff's Office
Item Name: Approval to Accept FEMA BRIC Grant for Hazard Mitigation Plan Update
Summary:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Ozaukee County’s current Hazard Mitigation Plan has expired and must be
updated to meet FEMA requirements and maintain eligibility for certain federal disaster and hazard mitigation
assistance.
Analysis: The Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) describes potential natural and manmade disasters that can occur and
have historically damaged people and property in Ozaukee County. While communities cannot prevent disasters,
they can be better positioned to reduce their effects. This HMP increases awareness of hazards, risks, and
vulnerabilities; identifies actions to reduce risk; focuses local resources on the greatest risks; and communicates
priorities to state and federal officials. Ozaukee County and participating municipalities have prepared this plan to
meet these requirements and, in doing so, help their citizens mitigate the effects of natural disasters.
The total project cost is $60,000. The FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) BRIC (Building Resilient
Infrastucture & Communities) grant will provide $45,000, and the required $15,000 local match will come entirely
from services provided by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). No County levy
dollars will fund the project or the required match.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Balance Current Year: NONE
Next Year’s Estimated Cost: NONE
FUNDING SOURCE:
County Levy: Non-County Levy: X
Indicate source: FEMA BRIC Grant & SEWPRC Matching Funds
Recommended Action:
Approve acceptance of a $45,000 FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant and
authorize the County to proceed with the required update to the Ozaukee County Hazard Mitigation Plan.
