RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE relief of cash shortage in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau in the amount of $300.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cash shortage in the amount of $300.00 will be funded with 100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with provisions of Administrative Bulletin 207.7, the Auditor-Controller has verified and concurs with the report of a cash shortage in the amount of $300.00 in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The shortages occurred on three separate occasions at the Martinez Detention Facility (MDF): August 16, 2018, November 26, 2018 and December 2, 2018. All three instances involved the receipt of counterfeit $100 bills as determined by West America Bank and Wells Fargo Bank. MDF uses a counterfeit bill detection machine that, although considered fairly reliable, cannot be considered 100% effective. The machine has since been replaced with a newer model and MDF management will ensure that staff continue to be vigilant and check each bill carefully to minimize any future occurrences of counterfeit bills.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The shortage will not be relieved, cash will not be in balance.
