SHERIFF/ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/JAIL
Commr. Burhans read a request from Sheriff Griffin, requesting the use of the $3,380.00 which was received for housing Sumter County prisoners to purchase eighty (80) new mattresses needed for the Jail.
Commr. Smoak moved that the request be approved, Commr. Deems seconded the motion. Further discussion occurred regarding the request.
It was the opinion of the Board that normal county budgetary processes should be followed in obtaining such purchases for the Jail, which means that the $3,380.00 under Florida Statute, must be placed in the Fine and Forfeiture Fund as a revenue, and can not be directly allocated to the Sheriff's Department for jail operations.
It was also the feeling of the Board that the proposed 1981- 2 operating budget, included revenue projections for the Fine and Forfeiture Fund for anticipated revenues from housing prisoners, based upon past performance. The budgeted amount for operating the jail was established at a level to include the housing of other jurisdictions' prisioners, also based upon past experience. The Board felt the same was true of the purchase of non-capital items for the use in the jail such as mattresses, therefore, this request is considered to be a part of the 1982 Sheriff's Budget.
Commr. Smoak withdrew his motion of approval and Commr. Deems withdrew his second.
The Board instructed the Clerk to write the Sheriff in a timely fashion relaying the Board's feelings.
SHERIFF/COMMUNICATIONS
Commr. Burhans read a request from Sheriff Griffin regarding a Classification Officer for the Lake County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Griffin requested the Board's consideration, thoughts and comments regarding this position.
It was the feeling of the Board that if there is not a classification officer already employed by the department, an employee should be designated and trained as a Classification Officer.
The Board felt that funds from the $2.00 fee for law enforcement training could be used to train existing personnel to serve as Classification Officer and would meet the requirements of the statute.
SHERIFF/COMMUNICATIONS/ORDINANCES
Commr. Burhans read a memo from Sheriff Griffin regarding Lake County Ordinance 1981-4 (law enforcement training). Sheriff Griffin stated he had been advised the provision of Florida Statute 11943.25 (5) had been increased from $1.00 to $2.00 which was effective as of July 1, 1981. Sheriff Griffin also stated it was his understanding that the second dollar is to benefit the education and training in Corrections.
It was the feeling of the Board that the general purpose of this money was specifically for the training in Corrections.
The Board instructed Chris Ford, County Attorney, to amend Ordinance 1981-4 to include the second $1.00.
SHERIFF/COMMUNIATIONS/BUDGETS
Commr. Burhans read a memo from Sheriff Griffin regarding Aid to Local Governments for crime control, corrections or detention programs.
It was the feeling of the Board that the "Aid to Local Government" monies that Lake County expects to receive was considered as a revenue item and was figured as a part of the proposed 1981-82 budget, due to the fact there were enough "non recurring, one-time basis" type expenditures in the proposed budget that these funds would be appropriately used in the funding the 1981-82 operations.
On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board requested the Clerk to write the Sheriff stating the Board's opinion.
