RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE relief of cash shortage in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau in the amount of $252.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cash shortage in the amount of $252.00 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 $252.00 in the Sheriff's Department-Detention Bureau.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The shortage occurred on August 10, 2016 at the Martinez Detention Facility during the swing shift. Funds that should have been posted to one inmate's account were instead placed on the account of another inmate who was released with the balance of funds before the error was identified. Going forward, fund balances on new bookings will be verified with the Funds Receipt prior to issuing a check when the bookings have not been reviewed by the Shift Sergeant or Release Clerk.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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