for 2003 which ends June 30, 2003. Keith said that they are going to

of Corrections and $100,000 budget left from Juvenile Justice Authority.
They would like to make some year end purchases and adjust their budgets
to make the expenditures. Keith said the expenditures would need to
be justified and they can justify that they need new computers. The

3 printers, 1 laminating machine, 1 key cabinet, 3 dry erase boards, 1 round
table, software, copier, 1 shredder, 5 file cabinets, 3 breathalyzers and
a new vehicles, with a cost for the other equipment estimated at a cost of

is not spent it has to be sent back to the State. Keith said with these
expenditures they would still be sending back about $64,000.
