Mr. Elish: Don't you think we're getting a little overboard in this overtime. Technically,
this shouldn't happen. I think the warden should be a little bit easier on this in the future.
Mr. Flynn: I agree with you, Mr. Elish. I think the reasoning for it originally was the
fact that he doesn't have anybody on a standby basis. We could raise the question - coule he
secure somebody now. At the time he definitely didn't have anybody to call out in case
somebody didn't report. But it is a, good point. We continue to raise the question. As a
matter of fact, I'll bring it up at the next Prison Board Meeting.

Remarks:
Mr. Elish: I'm just wondering, Mr. Sheriff, how long this will run. How will your budget
stand if this continues with these trials through the year?
Mr, Debreczeni: May I state that the outset of this budget is up in the five figures we set
up for special services. Naturally, we haven't spent down to $6, 000. Presently I have
close to $4, 000. This to me will be the extent for a period of time and my budget will stand
this and I will have money left over at the end of the year. But your question is that I
always seem to be caught in the middle of some of these things. But I have court orders to
carry these things out and therefore it is my duty to do so. I don't want to talk out of
school, but if this county had to bear the expense that I am confronted with now in the field
of both of these individuals the security which is paid to the people other than the county. It
is running in the neighborhood of $600 per day. This is the extent of it.
Mr. Paluso: The works been performed. There is no question that this has to be done now.
Mr. Elish: Well lets be hopeful that this doesn't continue.
Mr. Debreczeni: I think the Chairman of the Board has scheduled some kind of meeting this
afternoon that we could dwell into this. I think it is for that purpose,
Mr. Flynn: I think that will be one of the topics of discussion.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Debreczeni - Yes; Mr, Jones - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes;
Mr. Elish - Yes; Mr, Flynn - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
