Committee creates separate line items for Electronic Monitoring so state can share costs

The Budget & Finance Committee on Nov. 7 created separate line items to accommodate an Electronic Monitoring agreement with the state, which the committee noted must be recorded separately for the state to reimburse half the program cost. The committee created line 54900 for 'other public safety' and line 599 for 'other charges.' Commissioner Christy Ross moved to accept the line items; Commissioner Cole Taylor seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
