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