Clark County Sheriff Berl Perdue returned more than $44,000 in excess fees to the Fiscal Court on Wednesday, providing a financial boost to the county budget.
Perdue presented a $10,470 check for excess fees in 2008 and a $34,231 check for fees in 2009.
The Sheriff’s Office collects various fees throughout the year. Any funds that remain after paying for the office’s operation must be given to the Fiscal Court under state law.
Officials praised Perdue for returning the money.
“This is the first time since I’ve set on the court in eight years that we have gotten excess fees back from the sheriff’s department,” said Magistrate Pam Blackburn.
In other business:
— The court received a solid waste report from Solid Waste Coordinator Gary Epperson.
According to the report, volunteers and inmates collected 4,594 bags of litter from 674.7 miles of roadway in Clark County during 2009 — an average of 6.8 bags per mile. That’s down from 2008’s average of 9.4 bags.
In addition, local recycling programs collected 3.92 tons of aluminum cans, 10.13 tons of steel cans, 48.99 tons of cardboard, 65.10 tons of glass, 111.3 tons of steel, 11.81 tons of scrap electronics, 61.67 tons of paper, 117.67 tons of newspaper, 1.25 tons of pesticide containers, 11.36 tons of mixed plastic, 6.91 tons of telephone books, 2,880 tons of compost, 4,013 tons of sewage sludge and 35,380 tires.
