Commissioner Paluso brought up the matter of how the work release and week-
enders income was reported. Mr. Paluso noted that there is always a discrepancy
between what has been billed and what monies have been received. Mr. Paluso stated
that if they are not paying their costs, they should not be released and their
sentences should be revoked and placed back in the Jail. Mr. Paluso stated that
he checked with Mr. Metcalfe of the Controller's Office about these monies being
audited and that Mr. Metcalfe indicated that the records are kept at the Jail.
Warden Poland stated that the money that is received is turned over to the
Treasurer's Office and what is not received is turned over to the Resources and
Investigation Office for collection; and that when the Jail receives checks from
Resources and Investigations, they are subsequently turned over to the Treasurer's
Office. A brief discussion followed. Commissioner Paluso suggested that the
Controller's Office audit these reports at least every 3 months, or even more
frequently, in order for the County to recover these costs before these individuals
are released. Discussion followed. The Board directed Warden Poland to contact
President Judge Gladden relative to this matter.
