20. Contingency DOLLARS TO COMPLY WITH GRAVES V ARPAIO Approve two additional Physicians Assistants (PA's) to support the Graves v Arpaio Fourth Amended Judgment Paragraph 5.a(2): "If the receiving screening indicates a pretrial detainee is suffering from a serious acute or chronic health condition, a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner will conduct a face-to-face examination of the pretrial detainee within 24 hours after the receiving screening. FY2015 costs are estimated at $118,579 (Detention Fund operating). Due to limited contingency funds, all funding in FY2015 is requested from non-operating contingency. Therefore; it will be necessary for the FY2016 Detention Fund Operating budget to fund these expenses on an on-going basis, requiring a threshold adjustment of $203,279 (and also adjusted for any fixed or variable benefit increases from FY 2015 to FY 2016) to the FY 2016 Correctional Health (260) Detention Fund (255) budget threshold. In accordance with A.R.S 42-17106(B), authorize the following amendments to the FY 2016 budget: a) Decrease the expenditure appropriation for the Non Departmental (470) Detention Fund (255) Non-Operating (0001) Contingency (4711) in the line "Unreserved Contingency " by $118,579; b) Increase the expenditure appropriation for Correctional Health (260) Detention Fund (255) Non-Operating (0001) appropriation by $118,579; c) Direct OMB to include an adjustment of $203,279 to the FY 2016 Correctional Health (260) Detention Fund (255) Operating (0000) budget threshold to fund the annualized operating cost associated with this action. These actions will have a County-wide net impact of zero and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. This action supports the compliance with Paragraph 5.a(2) of the Graves v Arpaio Fourth Amended Judgment. (C-26-15-003-M-00)
