Background
AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget and Implementation Plan
Assembly Bill (AB) 109, titled "2011 Realignment Legislation Addressing Public Safety" was signed by the Governor on April 4, 2011. Since 2011, the El Dorado County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), a legislatively established planning committee for local criminal justice realignment, has met and established annual plans and annual realignment budgets for acceptance by the Board of Supervisors. The first and second year plans / budgets (Fiscal Year 2011/2012 and Fiscal Year 2012/2013) are completed / implemented. The "Third Year Plan" (Fiscal Year 2013 /2014) was accepted by the Board of Supervisors on June 25, 2013 and is being implemented by all involved agencies.
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 noticed public session on June 25, 2014. During this meeting, the CCP Executive Committee voted and approved by a majority vote, as required by law, to approve the Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan Budget Fiscal Year 2014/2015 and the Fourth Year Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan (Fiscal Year 2014/2015). Both are attached for the Board's review. On August 5, 2014 the CCP confirmed a final recommended Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan Budget Fiscal Year 2014/2015 and Fourth Year Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan (Fiscal Year 2014/2015).
The Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 includes a range of services from secure custody and enforcement through treatment and education including the new Community Corrections Center (CCC) under the direction of the Chief Probation Officer and partner agencies. This facility opened in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2013/2014. The goal of the plan is to ensure offender accountability and public safety, by best use of jail services, alternatives to custody, community supervision and treatment. By achieving safety, accountability and offender success through evidence-based practices, the CCP Executive Committee is planning for the best local outcome for the citizens of El Dorado County.
During Fiscal Year 2014/2015 the CCP Executive Committee will continue to review service levels needed to most effectively address the realigned duties and responsibilities now assumed by the County, and will return to the Board of Supervisors with a plan to address following years. In addition, the CCP, through subcommittee work, will begin a long range planning process to develop goals, objectives, and measurable outcomes for public safety realignment programs and services.
Use of SB 90 Mandate Repayment Funds
The CCP Executive Committee is recommending that the Board of Supervisors direct the Chief Administrative Office to include the SB 90 Mandate Repayment Funds of $439,441 in the Community Corrections Subaccount. This allocation will assist with backfilling the expected shortfall between anticipated revenues from the State for County AB 109 activities and anticipated costs for County programs and services included in the recommended Fiscal Year 2014/2015 AB 109 Budget.
Reason for Recommendation
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 1230.1 (c) and the provisions of AB 109 (2011), the Chief Probation Officer, as Chair of the CCP Executive Committee, brings to the Board of Supervisors the approved Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan Budget for Fiscal Year 2014/2015 for final acceptance by the Board of Supervisors.
On behalf of the CCP Executive Committee, the Chief Probation Officer, as the Chair of the CCP / Executive Committee, recommends the Board of Supervisors review and accept the Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan Budget Fiscal Year 2014/2015 and the Fourth Year Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan (Fiscal Year 2014/2015), and direct the Chief Administrative Office to include the SB 90 Mandate Repayment Funds of $439,441 in the Community Corrections Subaccount to address State funding shortfalls.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
Following acceptance by the Board, the CCP will proceed with implementation of the Public Safety Realignment Implementation Plan for Fiscal Year 2014/2015.
