Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0420-02-03-.05 - COMPENSATION
(1) All funds for the subsidy grant program
will be dispersed from the State Prosecution Fund administered by the Office of
the State Comptroller.
(2) The
Judicial Cost Accountant will determine the amount of each county's subsidy
grant in consultation with the Department of Correction based upon the
reasonable allowable costs which are incurred by a county that has agreed to
house state felons.
(3) A county's
reasonable allowable cost for housing felons for the state will be determined
by the Judicial Cost Accountant in consultation with the Department of
Correction upon the county's submission of cost data sheets and supporting
schedules, in such form as is established by the Judicial Cost Accountant,
showing the actual, reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the county in
housing felons in a local correctional facility.
(4) A cost will be considered "reasonable,
and "allowable, if, in its nature or amount, it does not exceed that which
would be incurred by an ordinary and prudent person conducting a similar
enterprise.
(5) The state will
reimburse a participating county for the state's proportionate share of the
total reasonable allowable cost incurred by the county in operating a
correctional facility in an amount which will equal the state's proportionate
share of the facility's total inmate population as represented by the number of
convicted felons housed therein.
(6) Once the Department of Correction
notifies a county that it has the capacity to house some or all of the felons
who have been sentenced to confinement with the Department of Correction but
which the county is holding and requests that the sheriff convey them to a
reception center by a certain date, the State will reimburse the county at a
flat rate of $18 or $20 for the cost of housing those felons after that date,
the amount to be determined in accordance with 0420-2-3-.07(2)(e).
(7) Should the amount of appropriated funds
be insufficient to reimburse counties at the rates established pursuant to
these rules, the commissioner may establish a temporary rate schedule to insure
that total reimbursement does not exceed the budgeted amount. The temporary
rate schedule may give priority to contractual obligations established pursuant
to T.C.A. §
41-8-106 and then provide
a standard rate for all other counties as funds become available.
