23. AMENDMENT TO FIVE-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN In accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106(B), authorize the following amendment to the Non Departmental (470) Detention Capital Projects Fund (455) FY 2013 Budget and Five-Year Capital Improvement Program: a) Decrease the budget and expenditure authority for the Project Reserve (PRSA) by $1,450,000 from $30,210,100 to $28,760,100 for FY2013. b) Approve an increase to the Lower Buckeye Jail Project (LLBJ) and create a new segment called "Flat Cell Conversion LBJ" with a project budget and FY2013 expenditure authority of $1,160,000 to convert eight cells to specialty segregated population requirements. c) Approve an increase to the Fourth Avenue Jail Project (FFAJ) and create a new segment called "Flat Cell Conversion FAJ" with a project budget and FY2013 expenditure authority of $290,000 to convert two cells to specialty segregated population requirements. These actions will have a County-wide net impact of zero. These actions do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. This is a critical life/safety capital improvement project that is required to be performed to create safe and secure cells for inmates transitioning from wanting to cause harm to themselves back to standard classified housing, and while still under mental health care. Funding is available and appropriated within the Detention Capital Projects Fund to do this work. (C-70-13-011-2-00)
