RE: Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Surplus Funds
Dear Chairman Saunders:
Enclosed please find the Sheriff's Office check #251778 in the amount of $1,020,083.25 which
represents the funds not expended from the FY2025 budget. On June 1,2025 the CCSO
reimbursement rate with ICE increased significantly, this combined with a significant increase in
the housing days in the final quarter of FY2025, created a surplus. Additionally, we returned
$2,500,000.00 in excess funds on August 1st as a result of previously identified savings and
efficiencies in the FY2025 budget. And, as is done every year, $1,028,635.67 in interest earned
during FY2025 was returned to the Board.
The return of these funds continues to demonstrate the administration of the Sheriff's Office in a
fiscally responsible manner through agency-wide awareness of and participation in cost control
efforts.
Operating within budget constraints continues to be a challenge to both local governments and
law enforcement. We continue to strive to meet the expectations of the citizens of Collier County
by providing the highest level of law enforcement services within the allocated budget.
Respectfully,
Kevin . ambosk, Sheriff
Collier County, Florida
