Bonnie Hammersley clarified that the contracted amount that was going to be transferred to the Sheriff's Office was going to fund the creation of a Jail Alternatives position. She said without that transfer of funds, there will not be a Jail Alternatives Coordinator. Commissioner Jacobs asked if Commissioner Dorosin's motion better addresses that point, or does neither motion offer much help. Bonnie Hammersley said the long term solution is the Jail Alternatives Coordinator. She said the proposal was for a full time Jail Alternatives Coordinator, a '/2 time position to oversee Pre-trial Services, and a FTE Drug Court Coordinator. She said these positions would be funded by the contract monies. She said if the contracts remain, then the current staffing remains as it is. She said giving three months to talk with stakeholders and come back with recommendations to Board of County Commissioners is a reasonable timeframe. Bonnie Hammersley said this decision does not affect the mark up or mark down budget, as it is a budget neutral initiative. Bonnie Hammersley said she will act upon the will of the Board of County Commissioners. She said in either case, she will evaluate with the stakeholders and share her findings with the Board.
