Vote on a request to appoint Abby Bristow and Nicholas Keifer as Deputy Finance Officers for the purpose of signing inmate trust account checks

Abstract

Action Requested: Vote on a request to appoint Abby Bristow and Nicholas Keifer as Deputy Finance Officers for the purpose of signing inmate trust account checks.                     

Introduction & Background: The Detention Division of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Department manages funds for individuals who are incarcerated in the Chatham County jail.  The funds that are collected upon incarceration and funds that are deposited on the inmates’ behalf, if not spent while incarcerated, are returned to the inmate when they leave the facility.  If inmates are transferred to another facility, a check must be issued for the balance of funds in the inmate’s account. If approved, these appointments will supersede any prior approvals for the Detention Division.

Budgetary Impact: None

                     

Recommendation: Motion to appoint Abby Bristow and Nicholas Keifer as Deputy Finance Officers for the purpose of signing inmate trust account checks
