Five journals charged 141,036.66 of Prosecutor's Office staff time to the fund's salary and wages chargeback line 02-213-43-130-368-012.

GJ 529 for 18,515.68 on 06/05/2025 covers 12/29/2024 to 03/30/2025. GJ 387 for 61,357.48 on 05/12/2026 and GJ 398 for 0.30 on 05/14/2026 cover four quarters from 07/07/2024 to 09/28/2025. The Prosecutor's Office backup bills four employees at hourly rates, a paralegal and assistant prosecutors among them. The first three journals posted the same day as credits to the Prosecutor's Grant Credits line 01-201-25-275-100-012, which also takes the County's VOCA, SART, JAG, STOP, ARRIVE and DLGS salary credits. The County budgets that line as an offset to the Prosecutor's salaries, 937,249.00 in 2024 and 917,866.00 in 2025. GJ 387 and GJ 398 credit Due to Current Fund and call the time overtime. The paralegal's weekly sheets log mostly 40 hour weeks at 28.85 an hour in 2024 and 30.45 in 2025, and the Prosecutor's overtime appropriation was 550,000.00 in each of 2024, 2025 and 2026. Journal GJ 1179 on 10/07/2024 moved Purchase Order 294400, 1,650.00 for 500 printed Central Diversion Program folders, onto the fund from the Central Municipal Court budget the court had ordered them on. The hours are logged to the diversion arrest initiative, Operation Helping Hand, the Overdose Fatality Review Team and other work. Exhibit E's categories name the first three. What the record puts in question is who was already paying for it. That the settlement money took over salary and supply costs the County's own budget carried is this project's inference from these records.
