OLD BUSINESS:
Chairman Mascara noted that efforts are being made by the Jail and Resources',
and Investigations relative to collecting monies due from prisoners. Warden Poland
noted that his office is working closely with R & I in supplying that office with
a list of names of people who still owe the Jail; and that they usually get back
to the Jail and l>et them know when it's collected or send a check to the Jail and
the Jail turns it over to the General Fund. Some discussion followed.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Commissioner Petrosky brought to the Board's attention the matter of a pro-
blem between the Controller's Office and the Sheriff's Office with reference to
the transporting of prisoners. He explained that the Sheriff has requested "X"
amount of dollars to transport a prisoner (per Court Order) to another facililty
and the Controller wants the information from the Sheriff in terms of what the
money is to be used for, etc. The Sheriff refuses to give an itemized documentation
of the expenses so consequently the prisoners are not transported. Commissioner
Petrosky expressed concern over this problem and noted that if those prisoners
that need to be out of our facility are not transported to another facility, then
he's curious as to when we're going to reach the point of over -crowding. He
stated that the matter could be resolved by the Courts, but the Courts, at this
point, have decided to take no action positively or negatively in terms of the
situation. Discussion followed. Commissioner Paluso suggested that the Prison
Board put the Courts and the Sheriff on notice that we are aware of the situation
and that it is imperative that they come up with a solution; otherwise, it is at
their own peril. More discussion followed on this matter.
Moved by Mr. Pettit, seconded by Mr. Paluso, (that the Controller be directed'
to inform this Board, in writing, what the position of her office is in regards tol"
the dispute between the Controller's Office and the Sheriff's Office that is
apparently prohibiting the County from transferring prisoners when directed by
Court Order; and tfiat the Sheriff inform this Board, in writing, as to'his
position in this same regard so that the Board can review each respective party's
