36. TRANSFER EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR THE MELENDRES COURT MONITORING JUDGMENT FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE In accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106(B), authorize a transfer of FY 2014 expenditure authority in the amount of $1,126,250 by decreasing the Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring appropriation in the “MCSO Judgment Order” (MEL0) and increasing the non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring project (MEL0). This action will have a County-wide 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. Authorize an expenditure reallocation of $1,725,000 from the FY 2015 Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Operating appropriation in the “MCSO Judgment Order” (MEL1) to the Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Operating project (MEL1). Approval of these items will allow for accurate tracking of the costs incurred by the Court Ordered Monitor associated with the MSCO Judgment order. In FY 2014, the costs associated with the Court Monitor are anticipated to be $1,126,250 and in FY 2015 the costs are anticipated to be $1,725,000. Moving the funds from the Sheriff’s Office to Non-Departmental allows separating the actual Court Monitor costs from the other actions deemed necessary by the Courts for compliance with the Court Order and allows the Monitor to be autonomous from the Sheriff’s Office as directed in the Court Order.
