MOTION
I move that the 2009 Hamilton County Budget be amended to reflect the following:
- Out of state inmate housing: The addition of 14,600 bed nights in Campbell County.
($600,000.00 annually)
- Additional electronic monitoring capacity: 100 units and additional staff.
($400,000.00 annually)
- End the practice of housing federal prisoners: We have a responsibility to make
available all of our beds to County inmates first. On average over the past three years 35
federal prisoners per day are housed in Hamilton County correctional facilities. By
ending the practice of housing these federal prisoners an additional 12,775 bed days
could be created per year. (approximately $500,000.00 annually)

Statement
In these difficult economic times, the Board of County Commissioners must make tough
decisions. As public safety is our stated number one priority, it is incumbent upon on us
to use every measure at our discretion fund corrections and community justice measures
to the fullest extent possible. The funds realized through the addition of the above budget
cuts will create the equivalent of 63,000 jail bed nights.
