The Christian County Board hammered out their budget last week and for the first time in a while, the board Chairman says he’s impressed with how smooth the procedure went. Bryan Sharp, Board Chairman for Christian County, says that he can’t praise his department heads enough for their hard work this year on the budget. 

One big area that Sharp wanted to see better numbers was from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, which has one of the biggest parts of the county budget.  Sharp said that he wanted departments to be honest about their needs, and not say higher numbers so they could “negotiate.”

The board met last week for their monthly meeting. Bryan Sharp also says while there is some work to be done, he’s very happy to be back in their normal area in the courthouse.  The board had to conduct their meetings on the third floor in the actual court room due to a remodel being conducted.
