Cochise County Jail District approves $100,000 transfer for new jail development
Summary
The Cochise County Jail District voted 3-0 to move $100,000 from its contingency budget to expenditure accounts to fund new jail development and site-preparation projects; the board scheduled a same-day work session for a fuller jail update.
The Cochise County Jail District voted 3-0 to transfer $100,000 from the jail district contingency budget to appropriate expenditure accounts to fund new jail development and site-preparation projects during the current fiscal year. A committee member moved the proposal and the Chair seconded; the Chair then called the vote, which passed unanimously.
A committee member said, "I move that we approve the transfer of $100,000 from the jail district contingency budget to appropriate expenditure accounts to fund new jail development and site preparation projects during their current fiscal year." The same committee member also noted, "We have a work session this afternoon to give a full jail update." After the vote the Chair stated, "Motion carries 3 to 0. That is approved." The board did not record a roll-call tally by speaker in the transcript beyond announcing the result.
The transfer moves contingency funds into expenditure accounts to cover preparatory work on the new jail project; staff will present a fuller update in the scheduled work session later that day. The action amends the jail district budget for the current fiscal year but the transcript does not specify project contractors, timeline, or additional funding sources.
