Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the following line item transfers:

From:	001-2001-6402	Repairs & Maint. - Equip.	$5,000
	001-2061-5003-C	Overtime Nurses	$16,000
			$21,000

	001-2060-6022	Professional Services	$3,000
	001-2060-6022-1	Pre/Post Employee Tests	$3,000
	001-2060-6401	Repairs & Maint.- Building	$10,000
			$21,000

Issue: Effective fiscal year 2014 all building maintenance accounts were cut approximately 50% or more. Sheriff's building repairs and maintenance historical expenditures exceed current adopted budget in this expense category. During the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Public budget hearing on September 22, 2014, the Court motioned to cut 2% on all operating accounts to exclude contractual accounts. Contractual Services budget for Dentist and Mental Health Physician was cut by $3,000. Lastly, pre/post employment tests require additional funds to support the Sheriff's Office random drug testing, new employment testing for peace officers/jailers and additional fingerprinting fees to update training files.

Solution: Transfer funding from other accounts to cover shortfalls due to cuts and unanticipated expenditures.

Result: Approval of transfer will avoid future deficits within these operational accounts.
