Agenda Item No. 38

Introduced by the Law Enforcement and Finance Committees of the: 

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 2008 INTERGOVERNMENTAL SERVICES FUND BUDGET

RESOLUTION #08-334

WHEREAS, within the Intergovernmental Services Fund (F645), revenues and expenses are budgeted for an Inmate Phone contract, and

WHEREAS, revenues of $410,000 are budgeted for 2008, based on a contract with Infinity Networks Inc., later partnered with DC TelSystems, and

WHEREAS, $370,000 of this revenue is budgeted to be transferred to the general fund, and

WHEREAS, since the beginning of 2008, these payments have been consistently under budget, with payments ceasing in April, and

WHEREAS, the Purchasing Department is in the process of selecting a new vendor to provide this service to the Ingham County Jail inmates.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that up to $320,000 be transferred from the 2008

contingency account to offset the loss of revenue from the inmate phone activity within the Intergovernmental Services fund.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that after a new vendor is selected, a 2009 budget adjustment to the Intergovernmental Services Fund may be required, as it is not expected that a new vendor will be able to guarantee the budgeted revenue total of $410,000.
