Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Sheriff’s Office has been using Partners for a Safer America since May 18, 2004, for the installation and maintenance of advertisement boards at the South Lake Tahoe and Placerville Jails for Bail Bond company advertising only. This Agreement allows for the Sheriff’s Office to collect sixty percent (60%) of the revenue from the Bail Bond companies who pay to advertise on these boards. Having the Bail Bond company information on the billboards in the Jail prevents the Sheriff’s Office Custody Division from receiving complaints and litigation for not providing this informational service to its inmates.
The current contract with Partners for a Safer America will expire on May 10, 2023. This new contract will have a term of May 11, 2023, to May 10, 2026, and will allow the Sheriff's Office to collect a percentage of the revenue received from the billboards at the Jails.
ALTERNATIVES
Not renewing this contract would result in a loss of revenues, and a loss of information available to the inmates.
