DA asks court to reallocate SB22 apportionment funds to retain investigators and staff; court reviews but takes no motion
Summary
The district attorney's office proposed reallocations of SB22 apportionment funds to increase pay for investigators and support staff (several line-item increases were listed). The court discussed apportionment limits and whether to add remaining apportionment funds to the DA operating budget; no motion was taken.
A DA's office representative (Andrea) presented proposed reallocations of Senate Bill 22 apportionment funds to raise pay for investigators and support staff and to fill an open misdemeanor prosecutor spot. Andrea said the proposed changes are paid from SB22 apportionment revenue and do not use county general funds; she provided a spreadsheet to the auditor and court for the record.
Auditor and DA staff discussed the apportionment accounting and the remaining apportionment balance. The auditor said the office could request the full eligible $27,500 in apportionment reimbursement but the court did not take a motion to move apportionment dollars into the DA operating budget at the meeting; staff will coordinate further to finalize the recommended allocations.
