The Board of Supervisors authorized the County Administrator to develop a planning process to be implemented in formulating recommendations for the use of Proposition 86 funds in Contra Costa County (November 29, 1988) . The County Administrator requested that the County Justice System Executive Council be responsible for the planning for the use of these funds (January 23, 1989) . ; :Proposition 86 Funds September 4, 1990 Page 3 To be eligible for funding under Proposition 86, the County must reserve the allocation amount established by SB 236 by submitting to the State Board of Corrections the "Formal Project Proposal" by September 30, 1990. The Formal Project Proposal is designed to be a brief declaration of intent so that counties have time to plan and prepare a carefully developed construction project. After meeting the deadline for submittal of the Formal Project Proposal; subsequent due dates are determined by the County's schedule of activities. However, all counties intending to participate must be under contract with the Board of Corrections by September 30, 1993. County Administrator Office staff met with representatives of the Sheriff's Department to discuss possible options for Proposition 86 funds. Potential projects discussed included: 1. East County Booking and Reception Center 2. Central County Work Furlough Facility 3. Completion of Visiting Center and Administration Building at Marsh Creek as part of Marsh Creek Master Plan 4. Additional housing at the West County Justice Center. These options were discussed by the Justice System Executive Council. The Council recommended that a proposal requesting that the $1.4 million in Proposition 86 funds be reserved for Contra Costa County for 64 new minimum security beds at the West County Justice Center be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors. The Council also recommended that in November 1990, the Executive Council review this proposal in light of whether or not .the County will be eligible for additional bond funds. A bond measure, (SB 1094 - Presley), will be on the November 1990 ballot for construction funds for adult jails ($150 million), juvenile facilities ($50 million) and youth centers and shelters ($25 million) .
