County Commission <br />Page 2 <br />December 27, 2002 <br /> <br />County Jail $140,000 <br />The prisoner boarding portion of the jail budget was under budgeted due to <br />the delay in opening the new jail. The budget of $120,000 for prisoner <br />boarding was exceeded by more than $150,000. In addition, medical costs for <br />inmates were $30,000 more than the budgeted $ ! 60,000. Other savings <br />within the budget, limits the needed adjustment to $140,000. <br /> <br />County Extension $4,000 <br />Workshop costs were more expensive than originally budgeted by almost <br />$4,000. These costs were offset by the revenue generated by the workshops. <br /> <br />Total General Fund Adjustments <br /> <br />$332,000 <br /> <br />These budget adjustments for the General Fund do not take into account those departments <br />that will be under-spending their budgets--the under-spending will more than offset these <br />budget adjustments. Most of these items were anticipated at the time we prepared the 2003 <br />budgets. <br /> <br />911 Land Line Fund $35,000 <br />This fund is funded through the 911 land line fees and is used to pay our <br />contract with the City of Fargo and the operation of the new joint dispatch <br />center. The additional funds are for operational costs of the new center for the <br />month of December and other startup costs for the new center. <br /> <br />911 Wireless Fund $240,000 <br />This fund did not exist at the time the 2002 budget was approved. This fund <br />is for the collection and expenses associated with 911 fees on cellular phones. <br />The expenditures of the fund were for remittance of city share of fees to Fargo <br />and West Fargo and 50% of the county fees to the North Dakota Association <br />of Counties. The fees remitted to North Dakota Association of Counties are <br />for the upgrades needed by cellular companies to provide the locate system for <br />cellular 911. <br /> <br />Vector Control $36,000 <br />The additional funds were used for spray chemicals and equipment during the year. The <br />added expense was offset by additional revenue from contract spraying. <br /> <br />Document Preservation Fund $17,000 <br />The Document Preservation Fund obtains revenues from a $3.00 recording fee <br />attached to each document filed in the County Recorder's Office. By contract, <br />$2.00 of each $3.00 collected is used to fund the North Dakota Recorders <br />Information Network (NDRIN). Due to the number of documents filed and <br />revenue raised, funds over the amount originally budgeted need to be remitted <br />to NDRIN. <br /> <br /> <br />
