Alex:
The Department receives 55% of the gross revenues from telephone commission collections.
We calculate phone commission revenue in fiscal years (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009; July 1, 2009 - June 30,
2010) rather than calendar years.
Collections for the Department for FY 08-09: $3.6 million
Collections for FY 09-10: $$3.3 million
We are on a month-to-month contract with Global Tel-Link until a new contract can be awarded. Current RFP
submissions for telephone services are due Thursday, March 17th.
