Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The loss of the $100 has a direct offset to the Sheriff's revenue for the SLT Work Program budget.
Background: Pursuant to Government Code Section 29390, the County historically has required departments to present to the Board a request for relief of accountability for cash shortage issues.
Reason for Recommendation: On September 17, 2008, the Bank of America branch in South Lake Tahoe identified a counterfeit $100 bill in the Sheriff's deposit for Work Program revenues received by participants in the program. Jail staff was unable to determine which of the participants was responsible for the counterfeit bill. A report was filed with the City of South Lake Tahoe Police Department for further investigation.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The loss of $100 is reflected in reduced revenues in the Sheriff's SLT Work Program budget (#243220/1749) so no adjusting claim will be submitted to the Auditor for processing.
Jail management continues to work with staff to identify methods for identifying counterfeit bills.
