<br />With regard to the Jail budget, Sheriff Riley addressed efforts to
<br />reduce inmate food cost through bidding and negotiation with ARAMARK, the
<br />current provider. Concerning the Animal Control budget, Pam Dubois, Deputy
<br />County Manager advised the FY 13 budget includes $48,000 for the Humane
<br />Society to run the animal shelter.
<br />ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Program
<br />As a follow -up to a presentation made at the Board's January 2012
<br />retreat, Sheriff Riley requested 16 new part -time positions for the
<br />"Transportation Team ". The "Team" will pick -up all Immigration detainees and
<br />within 100 miles of Cabarrus County and non -ICE transports such as mental
<br />health and /or other jail trips in North Carolina facilities and transport
<br />them to their destination. Through a contractual arrangement, ICE will
<br />reimburse the Sheriff's office for staffing and mileage. He estimated
<br />deputies make more than 600 trips to mental health facilities, estimated to
<br />cost approximately $49,000. He suggested these funds be transferred to the
<br />ICE program and said the program could be profitable. He also advised ICE
<br />only pays for services they use.
<br />Commissioners Measmer expressed support for the ICE program.
