Appropriate from Fund Balance $64,240

BACKGROUND

The jail population for December 2018 and January 2019 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result, inmates were shipped to the following counties: Jackson, Madison, Mecklenburg, Polk, Swain and Transylvania.  Inmates were housed between 1-31 days. Total cost for December 2018 is $21,000 and January 2019 is $43,240. 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.
