She explained in detail the medications, generic, etc. Suicide and Crisis prevention are part of their training, she explained. She explained the costs, saying, they have the ability to stabilize the budget based on services, they will provide an annual cost, so that for Fulton County, the budget though out the year, would be a monthly payment that will be the same every month except for a slight reconciliation, she explained. She stated the County would have a predictable budget every year. She stated they base their price increases to the County on the Consumer Price Index. They take care of all medical supplies. She stated their organization takes first response to any medical law suit and explained their insurance plan. This finished her presentation. She answered questions.

Judy stated there has to be an account for the money to come from that has to have been appropriated by the County Council the previous year.

The Commissioners make a judgment and vote on them, yes/no; then it usually goes to the County Council. Mr. Talbott stated he did not receive payment for assessing supplies’ for copier and supplies. The Auditor explained that there is no appropriation or account number in which she can pay those expenses from.

Sandy stated she had provided for his assessing needs. This was discussed. Mr. Talbott read I.C.36-6-8-10 Subsection C.

Sheriff stated there has not been such a program since he has been here, due to the lack of staffing. He told of investigating the program at neighboring jails and their progress. He stated it is a privilege to be a work release person; you are not a prisoner as such. He said this would be a step, in getting someone back in the public. He went on to explain saying the cost would be minimal. This was discussed. He just wanted to let the Council know, and if they have any input, he would be glad to talk with anyone. The Sheriff informed the Council of his problems with the plumbing work, the damage done to the carpet, and that he was deducting one-half the cost to replace the carpet, from the cost of the plumbing.
