29 <br /> 1 Sheriff Blackwood said the new positions will eliminate the need for switching personnel <br /> 2 from the road and detention center. He said that would allow a specific budget. He said it would <br /> 3 be prudent to track that to show who is at the detention center versus the road. <br /> 4 Commissioner Richards asked how assumptions are reflected in the budget process. <br /> 5 She said if they assume they will get to fifteen, how do they see what the impact is. She said <br /> 6 that moving people back and forth is a built-in inefficiency. She mentioned that staff must be <br /> 7 detention center certified, so there are some built in inefficiencies. <br /> 8 Sheriff Blackwood said that a patrol officer does not take care of detention center tasks if <br /> 9 they are not certified. He said if they are working on detention center tasks, then they are with a <br /> 10 certified detention officer. <br /> 11 Commissioner Richards said that if they are no longer having to rotate the staff then <br /> 12 there should be a positive impact. <br /> 13 Bonnie Hammersley said that the budget does show the partial offset position <br /> 14 reductions. She said that if the Sheriff does not get fifteen positions, then he would need the <br /> 15 $300,379 that would otherwise be offset. She said the budget makes reduction assumptions <br /> 16 based on the fifteen new positions. <br /> 17 Commissioner Richards said that was what she was looking for. <br /> 18 Commissioner McKee asked if that left the effective cost at $300,000. <br /> 19 Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br /> 20 Chair Price asked if they are moving past non-departmental. <br /> 21 Travis Myren said yes but that he can go over the details if they would prefer. <br /> 22 Commissioner Fowler asked if that included Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) <br /> 23 items. She asked if it is reflected on the revenue side. <br /> 24 Travis Myren said yes, that will be in the juvenile justice budget. <br /> 25 Commissioner Fowler said she did not see the expected revenue but saw the <br /> 26 expenditure of$107,000. <br /> 27 Travis Myren said that it might be housed in the DSS budget, and he will get clarification. <br /> 28 Chair Price asked if Boomerang did not make a request. <br /> 29 Commissioner Fowler said they were not given JCPC funding but were given funding in <br /> 30 other places. <br /> 31 Commissioner Richards asked what JCPC is. <br /> 32 Commissioner Fowler said it is the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council. She said the <br /> 33 programs are by nonprofits that run through Orange County and the funds are from the JCPC <br /> 34 from the state. She said the county has a matching fund for the JCPC they administer. <br /> 35 Commissioner Richards asked if this reflects the county's matching funds. <br /> 36 Commissioner Fowler said that the $107,000 reflects the county's mandated matching <br /> 37 funds. <br /> 38 Travis Myren said the state makes payments directly, so they do not flow through <br /> 39 county's budget. <br /> 40 Commissioner Richards asked if it is true for any types of all state funds. <br /> 41 Bonnie Hammersley said no, just this one because it is directly from the state. <br /> 42 Nancy Coston, Social Services Director, said she will send the commissioners the <br /> 43 funding percentages to show the breakdown of contributions from the county and the state. <br /> 44 Commissioner Richards said they also did not have the outside agency information. <br /> 45 Travis Myren said that will come on the 261h at the next budget work session. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 <br /> 48 <br />
