1) Add Probation’s Outreach Trailer to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 Fixed Asset list that was included on the FY 2023-24 Fixed Asset list but was not received within the fiscal year due to an extended build time and shipping time, at a total cost of $184,394; and
2) Approve and authorize the Chair to sign a Budget Transfer in the amount of $184,394, adjusting Probation’s FY 2024-25 budget to accommodate the carryover of the Trailer from FY 2023-24. (4/5 vote required)
FUNDING: California AB 143 (2021) (100%).
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
California Assembly Bill (AB) 143 (2021) and AB 199 (2022) provide backfill to counties as a result of revenues lost from the repeal of various criminal administrative fees. A portion of this funding for Probation was set aside to Purchase a Mobile Outreach Trailer to be used for Community Outreach and Engagement activities and will operate as a community services hub for justice involved individuals (particularly those who are unhoused and struggling with meeting probation requirements) in need of access to complete their term of Probation and successfully re-enter into the community. The costs outlined include the vehicle and customization specific to Probation.
Probation has been working with the vendor, and tried to have the Trailer delivered before June 30, 2024, however, due to circumstances beyond Probation’s control, delivery by the end of FY 2023-24 did not occur. The Trailer is due to be delivered to Fleet mid-July 2024, and in order to get the vendor paid prior to the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget process closing, Probation is requesting to have the Trailer added to our FY 2024-25 Fixed Assets list and the FY 2024-25 Budget Transfer approved.
