RE: Supplemental budget proposal for jail remodel
Included in the plans for the jail expansion were relatively small remodeling projects in
the control room, lunch room, locker room and evidence room. Voters did not approve
funding for the jail expansion last May, but these smaller remodeling projects need to
proceed anyway, as they are necessary for the smooth functioning of the jail and have to
be done irrespective of expansion. The architectural work for these projects has already
been completed.
These projects can be paid for out of the jail expansion fund that was created by the
Board in 2007. However, due to failure of the bond measure, the FY '11 budget did not
include any expenditure authority in that fund. Therefore the Board will need to
reactivate that fund or create a new, similar fund to take care of these projects via a
supplemental budget process.
I did not want the Board to be surprised by a supplemental budget request and I will
review the plans for that request with you at the October 25th work session.
