Dear Jim:
Recently I was approached by the City of Key West asking the Sheriff's Office to
contribute to a fund to be used to assist the homeless to obtain bus tickets back to their
out-of-town families. Because we had a system in place in the past using Our jail
Program's people. we agreed to contribute $10,000.00 and offer the jail personnel, who
had been assigned this job in the past, to furnish these tickets.
Stephanie Robinson has been keeping track of individuals who obtained tickets
for the past 2 weeks. During the first week we spent $1,864 on t 5 tickets. An
additional 18 tickets have been issued during the second week that we have not been
invoiced for at this time.
I would like to request the County also contribute $10,000.00 for the purchase of
bus tickets.

Sheriff of Monroe County
