Reports <br /> None <br /> 8. Consent Agenda <br /> • Removal of Any Items from Consent Agenda <br /> Chair Rich pulled item 8-f. <br /> • Approval of Remaining Consent Agenda <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Bedford to <br /> approve the remaining items on the consent agenda. <br /> Chair Rich asked Commissioners to accept a roll call form of voting and called names <br /> accordingly. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> • Discussion and Approval of the Item Removed from the Consent Agenda <br /> f. Chair Rich said more money was requested from the ABC Board than was received. <br /> She said Criminal Justice Resources department was awarded $25,000 from ABC board for <br /> funds, despite requesting $32,500. She asked if Commissioner Dorosin would follow up with <br /> ABC Board as to why the full funding was not received, as he is the BOCC representative to the <br /> ABC Board. She said higher amounts were given in previous years, and she recalls ABC sales <br /> being up this year, and she would like more information. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he did not remember this item coming up at an ABC Board <br /> meeting, but he would follow-up. <br /> Chair Rich said the ABC board will provide a final report. She said drug treatment court <br /> is important, and if sales are brisk, the BOCC should pressure the ABC board to give the full <br /> funding. She asked if she can pull 12 out of the amendment. She said the County will take the <br /> $25,000, but she would really like to get the additional amount. <br /> John Roberts said the BOCC can pursue additional funds at any time. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley recommended that the BOCC approve the $25,000, and have the <br /> Chair submit a letter to the ABC Board requesting the additional funds. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he supported this approach. <br /> Commissioner Price said the ABC Board has a similar approach to the BOCC for <br /> distributing funds. She asked if elected officials are allowed to vote on the use of these funds. <br /> John Roberts said there is a way to address that, and staff will help work on this. <br /> • Approval of Items Pulled from the Consent Agenda <br />
