Sheriff's Department budget amendment for Capias transports

Summary

The Sheriff's Department brings people back from out-of-county on Capias warrants and gets reimbursed for it, but the workload blew past its $60,000 budget. The proposal adds $40,000 in revenue and expense lines so transports can continue without draining the General Fund.
