EXECU1TVESU~ARY
RECOMMEND AUTHORIZATION OF A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO TRANSFER
FUNDS COLLECTED FOR THE COLLIER COUNTY JUVENILE ASSESSMENT
CENTER TO THE SHERIFF IN THE AMOUNT OF $59,000 TO BE USED
EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE OPERATION OF THE JUVENILE ASSESSMENT
CENTER.
OBJECTIVE: To authorize the transfer of funds collected through the Court system to fund the Juveni]e
Assessment Center (JAC) to the Sheriff.
CONSIDERATION: Prior to the implementation of Revision 7 to Article 5 of the State Constitution.
funding for an assessment center was collected on all criminal cases. These funds are maintained by the
Clerk of Court and can only be expended upon the request of the Sheriff. With the implementation of
the aforementioned revision to the Constitution, this funding source was eliminated, However, the Board
was authorized to replace it by implementing an ordinance for the imposition of $65 on certain criminal
cases. This $65 is divided into quarters with 25 percent being availab]e for juvenile alternative programs.
The Board of County Commissioners further divided the 25 percent between Teen Court and the J AC.
Since November 2004, the funds have been transferred to the Clerk of the Circuit Court and payments
have been made for the operation of the Juvenile Assessment Center with the approval of the Sheriff. The
Clerk now desires for the Sheriff to pay the expenses of the Juvenile Assessment Center. In addition to
the $59.000 in Fund ]75, there is currently $25,280.25 in the Clerk's Fund 65] and $]7,464.6] in Fund
-- ] 76, available for transfer to the Sheriff,
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are budgeted in the Juvenile Assessment Center Fund ]75 in the amount of
$59,000 as a transfer to the Clerk of Courts. These funds would now be a transfer to the Sheriff;
additionally the $17,464.6] balance in the Clerk's Fund ]76 and $25,280.25 in Fund 65] would be
transferred to the Sheriff for JAC operations. Future funds expended in this program would come from
the portion of the $65 court costs collected. This program has no impact on the general fund.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's office and the
request for authorization of a budget amendment to transfer funds does not present a legal issue.-SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: none
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of a budget amendment in the amount of $59,000 to transfer funds
from Fund 175 to the Sheriff.

Carol Golightly, Finance Director, Sheriff's Office
