17. APPROPRIATION ADJUSTMENT FOR THE JUVENILE RESTITUTION FUND Per A.R.S. §42-17106(B), authorize the following amendment to the FY 2016 budget: a) Decrease the expenditure authority for the Non Departmental (470) Non Departmental Grant (249) Non-Recurring, Non-Project (0001) in the line "Unreserved Contingency" in the amount of $6,000. b) Increase the expenditure authority in the Juvenile Probation (270) Juvenile Restitution Fund (229) Non-Recurring, Non-Project (0001) in the amount of $6,000. These actions will have a County-wide net impact of zero and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenue duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The Juvenile Probation Department has identified a gap in some youth probationers’ ability to earn salary or wages to pay Court Ordered Restitution. The department, through its Juvenile Community Offender Restitution and Public Services (JCORPS) activity, provides youth with opportunities to complete community service projects while earning work credit hours to compensate victims through restitution. This expenditure is of a one-time nature and will be resolved by the end of the 2015-2016 fiscal year. The Juvenile Probation Department proposes to utilize $6,000 in existing fund balance of the Juvenile Probation Department (270) Juvenile Restitution (229) fund. (C-27-16-008-2-00)
