SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Dissolution of Probation Cash Difference Funds and Change Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and adopt a resolution that discontinues and dissolves Probation Department revolving funds as follows: (1) Change Funds for the Adult Offender Work Program (AOWP) ($400), and Drug Suppression Unit (DSU) ($600) and (2) Cash Difference Funds for AOWP ($25), DSU ($25), and Juvenile Justice Campus (JJC) Canteen ($50), for a total of $1,100 in Org 3430 and 3440 (4/5 vote).

In 2022, a total of $1,100 was deposited to the Auditor-Controller/Treasure-Tax Collector (ACTTC).
