SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM SUBVENTION PROGRAM FUNDS FOR NEW
DETENTION FACILITY PLANNING
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 9: BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendations
1. Allocate $25,068 of 1984/85 County Justice System Subvention Program funds and $10,047
of 1983/84 County Justice System Subvention Program carryover funds to the Criminal
Justice Agency to provide for certain costs related to new .detention facility planning.
2. Increase the payment limit of the Criminal Justice Agency's 1984/85 contract, PLANNING,
COORDINATION, EVALUATION AND ADMINISTRATION, from $155,363 to $190,478 and authorize
the County Administrator or his designee to execute a contract amendment on behalf of
the County with the Criminal Justice Agency.
Background
The Governor has signed Assembly Bills 3805 (Robinson) and 2357 (Sher) providing for the
:funding of county jails from Propositions 2 and 16 bond funds. Under this legislation,
• Contra Costa County would be allocated $36.6 million as the State's 75% share of our
proposed facility. The availability of these funds, after a number of months of uncertainty,.
gives new impetus to our planning efforts. Priority items include completion of the
Environmental Impact Report and facility programming. We are attempting to accomplish
the maximum amount of work .in-house to avoid the expensive fees of consulting firms.
Much. of the "in-house" work can be performed by the Criminal Justice Agency, Planning
Department, Public .Works Department and Office of Emergency Services. There also are a
small number of specialized EIR chapters that will require outside contract(s) . You have
asked this Office to identify sources of funds, other than the reserve for contingencies,
that can be utilized for these purposes. For the Criminal Justice Agency's work on the
EIR and facility programming, there is available $25,068 as a cost of living adjustment
in 1984/85 Subvention Program funds and $10,047 in 1983/84 Criminal Justice Agency .carryover
Subvention funds. These and other funds spent on facility planning would be counted toward
our local match for State bond funds.
On April 24, you approved the 1984/85 County Justice System Subvention Program application. '
Your Board approved the Advisory Group's major recommendation to fund all 1984/85 projects
at the same level as 1983/84. The Advisory Group also recommended the use of potential
increases in the base allocation as follows:
a) that the $25,068 from a possible. State cost of living adjustment be divided
equally among the City of .Brentwood Youth and Family Services Project, Friends
Outside Project and the Violence Abatement Program of Battered Women's
-.Alternatives.
b) that any carryover funds from 1983/84 be allocated to those projects that generated
the carryover in the same amount as saved by those individual projects.

July is, 196,6
At that time,' your Board 'deferred action on the latter two recommendations because the
availability and amounts of the cost of living adjustment and carryover were uncertain. . .
Moreover, you directed this Office to determine "what current County justice system
needs might be met by the use of such -funds
With the passage of the State Budget, the $25,068 allocation increase of Contra Costa
..County .is now available. Our Office recognizes that each of the three projects -
recommended tor-Increase by the Advisory Group is worthy and meets a specific County'
Justice System Subvention Program need as identified by the Advisory Group. However„.`
each of these contract agencies is already being funded in 1984/85 at the same level- as :.'
in 1983/84:
Given 'our-urgent 'need to,.proceed with new detention facility planning and preserve the _
reserve for contingencies, I am recommending that the $25,068 be dedicated to facility
planning. Also,. consistent with the Advisory Group recommendation -on carryover, I am
, .recommending that the $10,047 in ,carryover generated by the Criminal Justice Agency also
b.e used by' the Criminal'Justice Agency for its portion of RIR and facility programming.
{The carryover generated by other projects is not yet .determined and will be the subject
of a .later report.}
