The reduction in
the York county assessment for correctional-related expenditures will not
have a financial impact on the State Board of Corrections until fiscal year
2013-14. The current
correctional-related assessment for York county is $8,667,248 and includes
the cost of the county jail's annual debt service obligation for it's
heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, $280,433. The last scheduled payment for that system
is due March 1, 2013 so beginning in fiscal year 2013-14, based on the
current assessment, York county would continue to assess $280,433 for debt
service costs they are no longer obligated to pay. That surplus would then become available
for the State Board of Corrections to reinvest in other correctional-related
costs. This bill lowers the assessment
by $280,433 thereby eliminating the future benefit to the State Board of
Corrections. |
