Commissioners adopt ordinance creating Community Corrections Commissary Trust Fund
Summary
An ordinance establishing the Howard County Community Corrections Commissary Trust Fund for work-release commissary deposits — required by the State Board of Accounts, per staff — was presented and adopted by vote.
County staff presented an ordinance to establish the Howard County Community Corrections Commissary Trust Fund to hold commissary money for work-release inmates. Staff said the action was required by the State Board of Accounts: "It was a directive given to us by State Board of Accounts this year, that we had to create a commissary fund for work release."
Commissioners asked clarifying questions and then moved, seconded and voted to approve the ordinance (the transcript references ordinance number '20 26, BCCO 28'). The fund was described as a repository for work-release inmate deposits to buy items via commissary; staff indicated the ordinance simply formalizes this requirement.
