(A) There is hereby established a special Non-Reverting County Corrections Fund for jail purposes with the County Sheriff being responsible for the day-to-day operation of the account and being strictly accountable to County Council, who shall remain responsible for the ultimate administration of the Non- Reverting County Corrections Fund and shall have final authority over distribution and application of any funds deposited in the Fund. The funds shall consist of deposits received for the Department of Correction in excess of those actual expenses incurred by the keeping of the Department of Correction’s prisoners, and such other funds as are permissible by state law.
(B) The Non-Reverting County Corrections Fund may be used only for funding the operation of the county jail, county jail programs, and other local correctional facilities. Any money remaining in the County Corrections Fund at the end of the year shall not revert to any other fund of the county but shall remain in the County Corrections Fund.
(C) The county receives the amount of $35 per day per prisoner from the state for those individuals incarcerated on behalf of the state as reimbursement for this service. In addition, the state pays medical costs for those individuals. Of this per diem amount, $20 shall be allocated to the Non-Reverting County Corrections Fund and $15 shall be allocated to the County General Fund.
