DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
AB109 Public Safety Realignment Budget
AB109, titled "2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety," was signed by Governor Brown on April 4, 2011. Since 2011, the El Dorado County CCP, a legislatively established planning committee for local criminal justice realignment, has met and established annual plans and annual realignment budgets for review by the Board of Supervisors. Absent a 4/5 vote rejecting the proposed budget, it is considered adopted. The legislation directs that the Chief Probation Officer is the Chair of the CCP for each County.
The Chief Probation Officer called the CCP into public session on March 2, 2023. The CCP Executive Committee voted by a majority vote, agenda item 23-0503, to approve the AB109 Budget for FY 2023-24 for $6,100,815.
The continued goal of the Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan is to ensure offender accountability and public safety through treatment, community supervision, alternatives to custody, and detention services. The Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan for FY 2023-24 includes a range of services from secure custody and enforcement through treatment and education including the Community Corrections Center (CCC) under the direction of the Chief Probation Officer and partner agencies.
The AB109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for FY 2023-24 reflects a status quo budget from the FY 2022-23 Projected Midyear Budget.
AB109 Planning and Implementation Budget
The Budget Act of 2023 will appropriate funds through the Board of State and Community Corrections to fund the local AB109 Planning and Training Budget for FY 2023-24. On March 2, 2023, the CCP Executive Committee approved the Planning and Training budget items for FY 2023-24 in the amount of $192,500 with file item 23-0504. These funds continue to provide each partner agency the necessary resources to obtain training specific to improving outcomes in the adult criminal justice system in the realignment era; provide curriculum for direct services for clientele participating in cognitive-behavioral change programming; provide necessary resources for obtaining direct services curriculum; training materials for alcohol, drug, and mental health programming; provide a resource to continue and create new incentive programs that reinforce pro-social behavior exhibited by Justice-Involved Individuals; and provide a necessary resource to continue professional services for data collection, analysis, and to support the efforts for making future data-driven decisions.
ALTERNATIVES
By statute, the Board has the authority by 4/5 vote to reject the budget and plan, as approved by the CCP, and direct the CCP to return with a revised budget and plan for consideration. Absent this direction, the plan is considered adopted by the Board as recommended.
