Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None. The Sheriff's Jail budgets will be debited $100 from Special Department Expense to replenish the cash due to the Inmate Trust Account.
Background: The Placerville Jail accepted a counterfeit bill from an inmate during the jail booking process. The bill was presented in a deposit to Bank of America in Placerville, and their automatic counting machine identified the bill as being counterfeit. The bank submitted the bill and a Counterfeit Note Report to the Secret Service
Reason for Recommendation: 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.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Sheriff staff will present a claim in the amount of $100 to the Auditor, charging the Sheriff's FY 09/10 Special Department Expense appropriation within the jail index code and the funds will be used to replenish the Inmate Trust Account.
