BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Appropriation from Fund Balance $151,123.
BACKGROUND
The jail population for July, August, and September 2019 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result, inmates were shipped to the following counties: Brunswick, Hoke, Madison, Sampson, and Transylvania. Inmates were housed between 1-30 days. The total cost for July, August, and September (partial) is $151,123. The Sheriff’s Office does not have funds allocated for this expense. It is our expectation that additional inmates will have to be shipped until the population subsides or the jail expansion is fulfilled.
