the Proposition 2 Application. Mr. O'Malley reviewed the work of the Task Force and
summarized its recommendations (listed above) to the Board concerning approval of the
Application and authorization of its submission to the State Board of Corrections by
November 18.
Mr. O'Malley also reported to the Board on the Task Force's work in developing interim
programmatic solutions to the overcrowding problem in County facilities, particularly the
expansion of the Sheriff's Work Alternatives Program and County Parole, and the imminent
Probation Department Home Detention Program. Mr. O'Malley stated that despite the continued
emphasis on alternatives to incarceration, research of the Task Force indicates that this
County will require the new facility being proposed in the Application.
