Appropriate from Fund Balance $35,768
BACKGROUND
The jail population for March and April 2019 exceeded operational capacity (526) daily. As a result, inmates were shipped to the following counties: Mecklenburg, Polk, and Transylvania. Inmates were housed between 1-30 days. The total cost for March and April is $35,768. 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.
