.7 • feeding the prisoners. Vice Chairman Adams recalled that those funds had been allocated back out of the General Fund during the year with budget amendments, but Undersheriff Davis stated that this request was only the second time this expense was before the Board this fiscal year. Administrator Chandler explained that a shortfall had resulted from a combination of factors. This fiscal year, income and expense were handled differently from past fiscal years when budget amendments were presented monthly. Also, the number of prisoners housed fell short of past years, and the request before them was to pay for continued services to the presently housed prisoners. Vice Chairman Adams continued to question the need, and Budget Director Joseph A. Baird further explained that the projected revenue will be short and, as a result, they would have to go to "cash forward." He estimated the income shortfall would be between $120,000 to $150,000 of the original projection. Vice Chairman Adams understood that there was a difference between the charge (to the other counties) to house prisoners and the actual cost of feeding and housing them and asked how much of the "profit" was going toward the department's helicopter expenses. Undersheriff Davis stated that none of the money from out -of -county prisoners was being used for their helicopters. Vice Chairman Adams wanted to see the figures in black and white.
