SUBJECT: STAFFING ANALYSIS STUDY FOR NEW COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct County Administrator to prepare report on staffing needs and costs of the new West
County detention facility, including an update of the Detention Staffing Analysis Study
prepared last year, and including a review of the use of civilians throughout the
detention system, and submit report to the Finance Committee by January 15, 1987.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Last year, at the request of the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator's Office
prepared a report entitled Detention Staffing Analysis Study. That report was considered
by the Internal Operations Committee and by the full Board and resulted in a Board Order,
approved December 10, 1985. Among other things, that Board Order directed the County
Administrator's Office to continue to pursue staffing options for the Sheriff's detention
facilities.
The issues of staffing the new West County jail and the use of civilians in detention were
discussed again by the Board during budget hearings. The Board referred the matter to the
Finance Committee for further study. The County Administrator's Office is prepared to
review and update the findings of the aforesaid detention staffing report and options
available to the Board in staffing the detention facilities, including the West County
detention facility when it is opened in late 1990. To conduct this study, we are
fortunate to have Dr. Mark Morris, who has recently become available as the result of his
leaving the State Board of Corrections. In his roll as Project Director for the Board of
Corrections, managing new county jail planning throughout the State, Dr. Morris has become
familiar with the variety of ways in which counties manage and staff their detention
facilities.
The County Administrator's Office is prepared to undertake and submit to your Board by.
January 15, 1987 a complete report on staffing requirements for the new County jail, as
well as the use of civilians in detention. This report will contain specific
recommendations and supporting data that can serve as the foundation for discussion by the
Finance Committee and, ultimately, by the Board as to the best way to staff the County
detention facilities.
