No Net County Cost. Sufficient appropriations for the purchases are included in the Sheriff’s Office (SO) FY 2014-2015 Recommended Budget. The SO’s Recommended Budget will be adjusted during the addenda process to add these items to the fixed asset schedule.
Background
These items were identified and an attempt to purchase was made in FY 2013/14. However, due to some delays in the purchasing process, the vendors were unable to deliver the product by the end of FY 2013-2014.
