   6:06 ~ 1/27/2009 7:44:20 AM ~ Dawn:  These beds are for inmates and that is the difference.

   6:18 ~ 1/27/2009 7:44:33 AM ~ Berger:  Call for the question all those in favor of gov req...motion carried...

   8:59 ~ 1/27/2009 7:47:14 AM ~ Meier:  I think we are at 15K for a security gate...already by that one...I was thinking that was a fairly small amount or does this keep them from doing this?

   9:49 ~ 1/27/2009 7:48:04 AM ~ the way I look at it is this is apretty cheap think...

  17:27 ~ 1/27/2009 7:55:41 AM ~ Nicholas:  On the B11 on the section 100s I think we use money for the housing and to recruit people from the midwest..do you recall whatelse they usedthe monies for...

  18:04 ~ 1/27/2009 7:56:18 AM ~ Dawn:  Only the things that were for recruiting people to staff the prison...that project is on hold..the cost of housing people in Rawlins while they are in training we let them use the money for hotels...in another source of funds..we have allowed them to use the money for those Casper beds and in the next budget they  will come back in the general budget.

  19:30 ~ 1/27/2009 7:57:44 AM ~ Nicholas:  What I would like to do is revise that language that says that they can only use 100 series for people..Yesterday we made an exception for the Health Department..Now that we are putting in the money I would like to..general exception for recruitment, retention and housing...if they have vacancies and need to get people in...not using it for any other operation...I think it is just a general exception..

  21:00 ~ 1/27/2009 7:59:15 AM ~ Steve:  We put in a exception...footnote on their budget and that they would report to you. any transfers..

  21:41 ~ 1/27/2009 7:59:56 AM ~ Nicholas:  I would like to leave the reporting..

  21:51 ~ 1/27/2009 8:00:06 AM ~ Steve: They basically can use it for anything.

  22:04 ~ 1/27/2009 8:00:19 AM ~ Nicholas:  I would like to put in language ...is that broad enough...we are putting more money into..if you don't use them..you don't use them..not allowing them to take them into the programs were not funded..that is my motion.

  22:57 ~ 1/27/2009 8:01:12 AM ~ Meier:  second...

  23:03 ~ 1/27/2009 8:01:18 AM ~ Hammons:  I don't remember if they ..are there anything that we just voted on that would be imopacted..

  23:35 ~ 1/27/2009 8:01:49 AM ~ Dawn:  Go to unit 1037...like those beds for the Casper beds...Hammons you may be thinking of when we let them use some of their vacancies for one time spending..this is the only thing we have allowed in this biennium.

  24:24 ~ 1/27/2009 8:02:38 AM ~ Nicholas:  Let us talk about this for one moment..this is for folks that are left on probation...let me find my first notes..that is the same recommendation that you had before...otherwise they just become slush funds for the agencies..I would ask for support for  the motion and look at special..

  25:58 ~ 1/27/2009 8:04:12 AM ~ Townsend:  Would you think that you could add to your motion to include ..

  26:15 ~ 1/27/2009 8:04:30 AM ~ Nicholas:  I would prefer not to..if you want to fund the CAsper center...I know we did something else for the Health Department...let's be transparent..

  26:59 ~ 1/27/2009 8:05:13 AM ~ Hammons:  Well, I am puzzled by the process that we have a motion that would...I would like to ammend the motion for unit 1037...

  27:37 ~ 1/27/2009 8:05:52 AM ~ Nciholasa:  Speaking against the amendment this is for disipline for our 100 series...if we need to fund the beds ..we have the resources to fund the beds...better to force them into..I understand what the governor is doing...which means there are no revisions...there are reviersions... I say we go back in and open that unit and fund the money through general funds...in the end one of the hardest thingss for us to control is FTEs...

  29:27 ~ 1/27/2009 8:07:42 AM ~ Hammons:  Because this is a process question...it is simply hard to find the money...we are going to take an additional 1.3 million...so for me it is a really importnat thing for these prisoners...if we have the money in the existing budget...

  30:38 ~ 1/27/2009 8:08:53 AM ~ Berger:  Any further discussion...question being called...failed..

  31:02 ~ 1/27/2009 8:09:17 AM ~ Nicholas:  I move that we open Unit 1037...and refund one half of the million 3 to general fund...

  32:10 ~ 1/27/2009 8:10:25 AM ~ Berger:  Any discussion...

  32:16 ~ 1/27/2009 8:10:31 AM ~ Nicholas:  I know that they have more money in their budget to find the other half...

  32:37 ~ 1/27/2009 8:10:52 AM ~ Harshman:  Didn't we exempt the department of correcctions that exempted them from unit 100 series..

  33:03 ~ 1/27/2009 8:11:17 AM ~ Steve: The governor approved them using the 100 series for personnel...

  33:25 ~ 1/27/2009 8:11:40 AM ~ Nicholas:  We just made a motion to limit their...

  33:41 ~ 1/27/2009 8:11:56 AM ~ Harshman:  Eventually they are just going to be moved to Torrington..it really doesn't matter it will cost us double to send them to Rawlins..just so you are aware of this...cost savings to the state...

  34:24 ~ 1/27/2009 8:12:38 AM ~ Nicholas:  the budget becomes effective in July and we will be back here in December..they just won't find the dollars...

  34:56 ~ 1/27/2009 8:13:10 AM ~ Philp:  Isn't this available immediately.

  35:07 ~ 1/27/2009 8:13:21 AM ~ Steve:  That is correct..

  35:13 ~ 1/27/2009 8:13:28 AM ~ Massie:  The soonest that we can impact this is another year...the other point is that we would have an opportunity to put the entire amount...

  37:35 ~ 1/27/2009 8:15:50 AM ~ Massie:  I would like to ..

  37:43 ~ 1/27/2009 8:15:57 AM ~ Nicholas:  Would that be a one time ..

  37:54 ~ 1/27/2009 8:16:09 AM ~ Berger:  the motion is to fund the remainder..calling for the question...

  38:16 ~ 1/27/2009 8:16:30 AM ~ Berger:  The motion pases..motion carries.

  38:27 ~ 1/27/2009 8:16:42 AM ~ Peterson:  I have to go back to page 23..treating sex offenders..shift some cost from page 23...note to reduce that 4.3 million taking 500K to the sex offenders..I had 800K and wanted to take money from priority

  39:45 ~ 1/27/2009 8:18:00 AM ~ Nicholas:  I have similar notes..asking that we reinstate 500K in sex treatment...my notes are on page 23 and 24 of the document..

  40:25 ~ 1/27/2009 8:18:39 AM ~ Steve:  Maybe Dawn can clean this up..

  40:44 ~ 1/27/2009 8:18:59 AM ~ Dawn:  You are absolutely right..instead of doing that the governor reeduced their budget by the same amount...

  41:17 ~ 1/27/2009 8:19:32 AM ~ Nicholas:  They said that they didn't need the 500K and he said great and took it..

  41:44 ~ 1/27/2009 8:19:59 AM ~ Meier:  Can we just talk about sex offender treatment and if it is successful...I am not sure...I would like to move to put 500K back into the program...I would move to open unit 1033.

  42:36 ~ 1/27/2009 8:20:51 AM ~ Berger:  continue with your amendment..

  42:45 ~ 1/27/2009 8:21:00 AM ~ Meier:  Take 500 K and put it into this program for sex offender treatment..

  43:05 ~ 1/27/2009 8:21:19 AM ~ Hammons:  I guess my question is since this is a supplemental budget can we deal with this in the budget year.

  43:34 ~ 1/27/2009 8:21:49 AM ~ Philp:  They had this as a pririority...and when asked why it was so low he said it was a no brainer..

  44:03 ~ 1/27/2009 8:22:18 AM ~ Meier:  Not to be argumentative...if we are going to penealize the director for his short sightedness.

  44:36 ~ 1/27/2009 8:22:50 AM ~ Steward:  I do remember the letter from the director that he backed away from this ...at this time..

  45:05 ~ 1/27/2009 8:23:20 AM ~ BNerger:  Caling for the question...motion failed...any furth discussion on agency 80 close as amended...agency 80 is closed...

  48:39 ~ 1/27/2009 8:36:52 AM ~ Steve:  I don't want to get hung up..

1:50:18 ~ 1/27/2009 9:38:31 AM ~ Sen Nic  We have a surplus... Not time to be out raiding your coffee cans... if they measure needs.. I don't think that we are tat the point... take it out of the genral fund.

1:51:05 ~ 1/27/2009 9:39:19 AM ~ Hammons  I think that jthe jPioneer Home is a sate... Using one state asset..

1:51:29 ~ 1/27/2009 9:39:42 AM ~ Jorgenson   My sense.. if we don't do it.. five million will disappear on the floor.

1:53:43 ~ 1/27/2009 9:41:56 AM ~ Meier.  That the top five ....if an emergency does exist.. I would rather put more money into the SLIP program.  If that doesn't carry the day.

1:54:28 ~ 1/27/2009 9:42:41 AM ~ Massie  I support this motion. We should be careful...  If we start taking all these things out of gen fund... LSRA  additional funding request.  We are creating a squeese if we fund out of the gen fund

1:58:21 ~ 1/27/2009 9:46:34 AM ~ Sen Nic  You never get assurances.  My goal is to take as little as... the money has built up.  My preference is... that is what we do is prioit  Raid all of your saving.
