A signature is required by both the Agency Head and Governing Body Head agreeing to these requirements and restrictions, and therefore affirming the proper allocations and expenditures were completed in the most recent fiscal year.

 

Approval of the use of these funds were previously brought to the Board on December 15, 2021; $143,860.50 from the Treasury Fund for the purchase of body cameras, and on May 9, 2022; $55,456.79 from the Treasury Fund and $131.043.21 from the Justice Fund for the purchase of a Driver Training Simulator.
