CONSENT AGENDA (Consent items as follows will be adopted with a single motion, second and vote, unless a request for removal from the Consent Agenda is heard from a Commissioner) A) Pat Galloway, Director of Financial Services 1. Approval - Adoption of Resolution to Establish Materiality Threshold for Recognition of Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements ("SBITAs") Under GASB Statement No. 96. With the new requirement to record Right to Use Assets for Subscriptions, we are requesting the Board to adopt this Resolution in order to set a materiality threshold that mirrors our capitalization threshold for all other capital assets. This will provide us the ability to only record SBITAs that equal or exceed $2,500 as an Asset. We consider asset costs lower than $2,500 to be immaterial to the County's overall financial statement presentation. 2. Approval- Increase Juvenile Detention budget $225,000 to cover cost projected the remainder of FY 2024. Comparing prior year invoices to current year invoices received to date, it appears the increase in the number of days detained has drastically increased costs. Other factors include a $15 per day fee increase as of7/1/2023 and the average number of juveniles detained increasing over the prior year. 3.
