David Cummings did not point out that architect fees will not come out of tax revenue accounts nor will the water line.
Don Jones explained that the budget estimate does not include extra training for staff by Department of Corrections.
Chairman Robinson asked David Cummings if he is seeing what he wants to in the report. Cummings expressed satisfaction with the tax revenues so far and asked if Stevens would continue with the current format after much discussion about the breakdown of the two accounts. Don Jones explained that the money needs to be split up to show expenditures for operations and construction so the current format and separation of accounts is as it should be.
Chairman Robinson then asked Sheriff Van Hoesen if there were any concerns from the jail that needed to be discussed. Sheriff then asked if there was a certain procedure he should follow when presenting repair items to the JFA for payment. Trustee Carl Giddens pointed out that the Sheriff had received half of his budget and that all repair expenses should be paid for out of maintenance and operations accounts and only after that was exhausted should the Sheriff come to the JFA with payment requests. Sheriff Van Hoesen then explained that the budget was not as much as it had been in the past and that there were more repair expenses that would exhaust his budget.
David Cummings said that the JFA is not to support the day-to-day operations of the jail/sheriffs office.
Carl Giddens suggested that an emergency meeting could always be called in the case of expenditures that are unexpected and extraordinary.
Steve Kelly asked that extraordinary be defined and stated that the reimbursement process is lengthy.
Don Jones explained that emergency expenses come to the board as a reimbursement
