BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE relief of cash shortage in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau in the amount of $600.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cash shortage in the amount of $600.00 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 total cash shortage in the amount of $600.00 in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The shortages occurred on three separate occasions on January 2, 2019, January 8, 2019 and March 26, 2019 at the Martinez Detention Facility during the swing shift. All three instances involved the deposit of counterfeit $100 bills. The Martinez Detention Facility has recently replaced the old counterfeit bill detection machine with a new model and management continues to work to ensure staff be vigilant and check each bill very carefully to minimize any future occurrences of counterfeit bills. Additional procedures have been added during intake to assist staff in identifying which inmates were responsible for the counterfeit bills and, if still incarcerated, the County will recover the funds from their accounts.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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