The Accounts Payable function is designed so that only properly authorized payments are made thereby safeguarding taxpayer monies. This unit also audits all vendor invoices to ensure that payments are in accordance with goods and services provided. This unit, to ensure compliance with all grant regulations and guidelines, approves each purchase made with grant funds. As recognition for this success, the Grant Coordinator, Anne Weeks, was named the 1998 Civilian of the Year. Inmate Accounting - All monies received by an inmate while at our facility are deposited into a separate account maintained for each individual.
Inmates can place commissary orders for items ranging from candy to writing materials.
This unit is responsible for deducting the cost of these orders from each individual inmate's account. This unit also deducts from the accounts any charges for medical services and issues checks from the account at the inmate's request. Cash Management - The Accounting Clerk in this area is responsible for the daily deposit of all monies received at the Sheriff's Office. Although the main source of revenue is from the Board of County Commissioners , the Sheriff's Office also receives money daily for such items as inmate monies, grants, restitutions, proceeds from sales of vehicles, fingerprinting, record checks, report copies, public records requests, reproduction photographs, and other various sources.
