Recommendation for the approval of a contract purchase order to Sentinel Offender

Members Garcia, Zay and DeSart brought forth questions regarding why victims would  
have an electronic monitoring device on them, whether there has been an uptick in  
electronic monitoring usage since the SAFE-T Act went into effect and what DV stands  
for. Robert McEllin, Director of Probation and Court Services, responded that victims  
are offered an option to carry a mobile device on them which will alert the police if a  
perpetrator is within a certain distance from them. Further, Director McEllin indicated  
that his office has seen an increase in electronic monitoring usage, but nothing drastic and  
that DV stands for domestic violence.

BUDGET TRANSFERS  
7.A.

Transfer of funds from account no. 1400-5930-51040 (employee medical and hospital  
insurance) to account nos. 1400-5930-50000 (regular salaries), 1400-5930-51010  
(employer share I.M.R.F.) and 1400-5930-51030 (employer share social security) in the  
amount of $117 to cover salaries and fringe benefits shortages for the Drug Court budget  
for FY23. (Probation and Court Services)  
Member Krajewski questioned why budget transfers in such a minimal amount need to be  
voted on in Committee. Chief Financial Officer Martynowicz responded that per  
guidance from the Attorney General's Office, any transfer, no matter what the amount,  
that involves personnel or capital accounts must be brought to the Committee. However,  
if a transfer involves commodites or contractual accounts, then it would not go to the  
Committee and rather be processed administratively. Member Krajewski went on to  
suggest alternate ways to handle this type of budget transfer to which CFO Martynowicz  
responded.
