14. COMPLIANCE AND THE BUREAU OF INTERNAL OVERSIGHT Approve the following actions associated with the Sheriff's Office: a) Six additional staff to support the Melendres Court Order requirements associated with review of complaints and response to record requests. FY 2015 costs are estimated as follows: $427,026 (General Fund operating) and $30,600 (General Fund non-recurring). Due to limited contingency funds, all funding in FY 2015 is requested from non-operating contingency. Therefore, it will be necessary for the FY 2016 General Fund Operating budget to fund these expenses on an on-going basis, requiring a threshold adjustment of $512,432 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Melendres Operating (MEL0) budget threshold. b) One additional staff to support detention early intervention system (EIS) implementation. The Melendres Court Order requires an EIS system for patrol functions. The Sheriff’s Office intends to implement the same system for its detention staff. FY 2015 costs are estimated as follows: $67,920 (Detention Fund operating), and $9,600 (Detention Fund Non- operating). Due to limited contingency funds, all funding in FY 2015 is requested from non-operating contingency. Therefore, it will be necessary for the FY 2016 Detention Fund Operating budget to fund these expenses on an on-going basis, requiring a threshold adjustment of $81,504 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) Detention Fund (255) Melendres Operating (MEL0) budget threshold. c) The creation of a new Bureau of Internal Oversight, with funding for the first of three phases. This Bureau will perform audits and reviews throughout the Sheriff’s Office. FY 2015 costs are estimated as follows: $763,637 (General Fund Operating), $208,042 (Detention Fund Operating), $295,900 (General Fund Non-recurring), and $71,350 (Detention Fund Non-recurring). Due to limited contingency funds, all funding in FY 2015 is requested from non-operating contingency. Therefore, it will be necessary for the FY 2016 General Fund and Detention Fund Operating budgets to fund these expenses on an on-going basis, requiring a threshold adjustment of $956,028 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Melendres Operating (MEL0) budget threshold and $268,217 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) Detention Fund (255) Melendres Operating (MEL0) budget threshold. Additional funding to begin the second phase will be requested in FY 2016. In order to implement the aforementioned items and in accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106(B), authorize the following amendments to the FY 2015 budget: a) Decrease the expenditure appropriation for the Non Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Non-Operating (0001) Contingency (4711) in the line "Unreserved Contingency" by $1,517,163; b) Increase the expenditure appropriation for the Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Non-Operating Melendres (MEL1) appropriation by $1,517,163; c) Decrease the expenditure appropriation for the Non Departmental (470) Detention Fund (255) Non-Operating (0001) Contingency (4711) in the line "Unreserved Contingency" by $356,912; d) Increase the expenditure appropriation for the Sheriff’s Office (500) Detention Fund (255) Non-Operating (MEL1) Melendres appropriation by $356,912; e) Direct OMB to include an adjustment of $1,468,460 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) General Fund (100) Melendres Operating (MEL0) budget threshold to fund the annualized operating cost associated with this action. f) Direct OMB to include an adjustment of $349,721 to the FY 2016 Sheriff’s Office (500) Detention Fund (255) Melendres Operating (MEL0) 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.
