Controller Beharry brought up the matter of the 1986 Adult
Probation
Grant -in -Aid and stated that last week she received a call from
the State inquir-
ing as to the $4,559.00 which was to be returned to the State
as those funds had
not been expended as proposed. (Note: The new program funds
of $4,559.00 were to
be used to hire an additional probation officer to function as
an Institutional
Parole Representative.) Discussion followed. Chairman Petrosky
stated that he
received a full report from Mr. Rockovich of Adult Probation
concerning this
matter. He requested that further discussion on this .matter be
delayed until the
next meeting in order that each member could be provided with
a copy of
Mr. Rockovich's report and have an opportunity to review it.
Chairman Petrosky informed the Board that under the new
policy for Errors
and Omissions insurance, the Prison Board is not covered as a
group. Discussion
followed. The Board members felt that every effort should be explored to find
out what type of coverage is available and to obtain it (i.e., individual policy,',
if necessary) as quickly as possible. Chairman Petrosky stated that he would
pursue the two aspects of (1) making a determination as to what the County's
general liability is and what is covered under that policy; and (2) some deter-
mination in terms of what other counties do relative to the Errors and Omissions
policy covering their Prison Boards.
