Item Title
CONTINGENCY FOR COURT-ORDERED FUND TRANSFERS
C Number:  C-50-24-026-X-00
Action Requested:
 Approve the transfer of funds, as determined to be necessary under the November 8, 2022, order in  
CV-07-2513-PHX-GMS Melendres v. Penzone, in an amount not to exceed $1,148,491 from the General 
Fund (100) to the PSB Staffing Fund (511).
If the transfer is necessary under the order, approve the following adjustments to the FY 2024 budget:
o Decrease the Non Departmental (D470) General Fund (100) Operating (OPER) “Unreserved 
Contingency” line (4711) expenditure budget in an amount not to exceed $1,148,491
o Increase the Non Departmental (D470) General Fund (100) Compliance Operating (MEL0) “Transfer to 
PSB Staffing Fund” line (4712) expenditure budget in an amount not to exceed $1,148,491
o Increase the Sheriff (D500) PSB Staffing Fund (511) Compliance Operating (MEL0) revenue budget in 
an amount not to exceed $1,148,491
o Increase the Non Departmental (D470) Non Departmental Grant Fund (249) Operating (OPER) 
expenditure budget in an amount not to exceed $1,148,491
o Offset the fund transfer with adjustments to the Eliminations (D980) Eliminations Fund (900) 
Operating (OPER) revenue and expenditure budgets.
The court demands that MCSO fill all 39 case investigator positions and reduce its backlog by clearing a 
minimum of 20 additional cases per month. The penalty for not filling all 39 positions is payment of 
three times the annual cost to recruit, hire, train, and compensate for one year a single PSB budgeted 
sergeant position each month the courts demands are not met. (Annual cost has been established and 
reported to be $191,415.12. Thus, the monthly penalty would be $574,245.36 per vacancy.) This request 
is sufficient for 2 vacancies if necessary.
