He asked if the board would like a packet so they can see the exact amount that is received. For instance for he fingerprinting process they charge $10.00 a print so there is revenue collected there. He stated that he will start providing copies of the revenue information. SCAT money that is the State Criminal Alien Assistance program for alien born inmates generated $105,682.00. But these funds will go down because they are getting paid by ICE. Arnold stated that he would like to see these revenue numbers. Mr. Ruiz stated that ICE sent them a questionnaire asking if they could provide a residential type housing setting. This would be for the non criminal people and families and children. Mr. Ruiz asked if the county would have an area for residential type housie for example the old Children's Village building or the old jail facility. He will continue discussion with ICE but they will not do anything unless there is a commitment from the County. He is not sure what they want and he will wait to hear from them. If this does happen he would like to have them provide dollars for the renovations. 1 II
