Jail transition external audit update
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Okay. Um just an update on the uh jail transition with um getting an external auditing firm to help us with the transition. Um uh believe that we have completed our comprehensive list um as of last week. Um there's a very many items on the list now that we we feel that we've um identified the everything that we can um in regards to the transition. However there are unknowns within those items that we
need some further detail as we get into it. Now the list is so large, what we're going to do is start to pare it down this week, um talking with the county about that. We have a a um my my inspector general has a jail tour tomorrow, you know, to look at assets and things like that to figure out what's gonna stay, what's gonna go, um, and to get a better understanding of things. And that'll p help us to pare down the list. Right now the list is so large that
it would not fit within the limits of what the board has approved to uh fund an external audit to come and do the what I'm gonna call a transition accounting. It's not really an audit, it's more of accounting of everything that the county is going to receive. And hopefully that will get done this week. We'll work with the county's project manager on this project as well as the sheriff's point of contact for us. So hopefully by the end of the week, our goal is to have the list uh pared down to then submit it out to uh
three firms to get a quote back which would be in line with the 150,000 that was approved by the board earlier.
Okay. That's my update. Thank you.
do you think about the timeline to get this done?
Um that's another reason to pare down the list. What we're looking at is keeping the things on the list that are essential and those that are non-essential that can be done with the county and the jail working together to get the information to help one minimize the cost of the transition accounting and two allow it to occur within the timeframe that it needs to. It is a very tight time frame. There is a lot of stuff right now that's on the list. Once I get a finalized list, I'll have a better feel for how long. But right now, if we
were to do the things on the list, there's no way it can get done in time.
Okay.
Is our staff and you are we all working together?
Very well. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yep, thank you. I appreciate that.
