Commissioner Bird realized that these people were approved early in the year and inadvertently we didn't budget for that. What confused him, however, is that the Sheriff just recently took over the Jail and this deficit has been building up within the County's budget and not the Sheriff's; he, therefore, did not understand why we are transferring funds to the Sheriff when it seems most of the deficit is in the County's budget. He noted that this is going to wipe out our Contingency Fund and hoped there may be some other way to handle it. Discussion ensued as to some alternatives and the possibil- ity of doing some Fine transfers. Richard Dees, Business Manager for Sheriff Dobeck, advised the Board that in doing his analysis, he discovered that it was these eleven additional detention officer positions being re- leased without salary monies that has caused the deficit in their salary account. These people were paid out of the funds budgeted for the entire year for the 40 odd positions, and they are now out of salaries as of this last pay period . Commissioner Bird asked if those people haven't been getting County paychecks out of County funds, and Chairman Scurlock o-� explained that we transferred the budget for the Jail over to the Sheriff and that budget has been depleted. His only question about the recommended budget amendment would be in regard to the possibility of some line item transfers. Acting Administrator Thomas noted that we have spent the money and now have to pay for it; so, even if we make line item transfers, he believed the net result is not going to change cash carry forward no matter where it is transferred from. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- missioner Lyons, the Board unanimously approved the budget amendment recommended above subject to Acting Administrator Thomas and OMB Director Baird taking another look at it. 29 AUG b BOOK 65 FS GE 300
