Director Baird noted that the Board will be reviewing this <br />fund during budget sessions. He explained that all the monies <br />obtained from confiscated goods go into this special fund, which <br />is self -balancing, and before any of these funds can be spent, it <br />has to come to the Board for approval. However, any items that <br />are confiscated but not sold can be used by the Sheriff for his <br />purposes. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt we must look at every possible source <br />of revenue this year, and he would like to identify some of the <br />legally acceptable uses for these funds as he would like to be <br />able to make use of them to mitigate some of the impact of this <br />year's budget. <br />Commissioner Bird believed we formerly got a different type <br />form from the Sheriff to show the disposition and status of <br />confiscated items, and Director Baird advised that the Sheriff's <br />new accountant called the state and found they were filling the <br />forms out incorrectly. It is not required that they give an <br />inventory of what they have on hand. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that while the state may not want <br />this information, he felt the Board wants it, and the Chairman <br />agreed. <br />Director Baird reported that he already has asked for an <br />inventory. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, to accept the Sheriff's Contraband <br />Forfeiture Report with the understanding that <br />this does not fully satisfy our reporting needs. <br />Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that these two reports cover <br />only part of the year, and there should be another one available. <br />The Chairman wished to know whether the interest income goes <br />back into that fund, and Director Baird believed that would <br />require a legal opinion. <br />11 <br />L_ JUL 16 196 <br />BOOK 65 F,JE 58 <br />
