Counties must submit budgets to the state after the implementation of a new plan, and the six-month budget bridges the gap between Oxford County's previous calendar year budget and the state's fiscal year.

The jail is also forgoing requests for $4,000 in capital expenditures for two new portable radios and a new work station for the control room. Haas said three openings at the jail, for two corrections officers and an assistant cook, have been frozen.
