Summary:
The attached schedule of authorized payments to the Sheriff includes the adopted Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) budget appropriation of $1,750,000.00. As of September 30, 2015, there was $1,270,080.00 allocated.
Background Information:
In an effort to increase efficiency and reduce administrative time in enabling the Sheriff to receive the appropriation related to grant awards received and amended service contracts, a lump sum was appropriated as part of the budget adoption in an amount commensurate with total awards in past years. The lump sum is not immediately included in the monthly payments to the Sheriff. As new grant awards are received or contracts are amended, the Sheriff will provide documentation to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and request appropriation from the lump sum. Upon review by the Office of Management and Budget, the monthly payment schedule to the Sheriff will be adjusted accordingly. If the lump sum is exhausted, future grant awards or amended contracts will be presented to the Board as a Budget Resolution. This new process mirrors the process successfully utilized for the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
Fiscal Impact:
Appropriation of $1,750,000.00 is currently budgeted in FY15 for the purpose of processing requests from the Sheriff. As of September 30, 2015, $1,270,080.00 has been allocated.
