SUBJECT:. POTENTIAL COUNTY PARTICIPATION IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE
COMMUNITY CORRECTIONAL DETENTION.CENTERS FUND
Specific Request(s) or Recommnendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize Chair to execute Letter of Intent to the State Board of Corrections
regarding potential County participation in Substance Abse Community
Correctional Detention Centers Fund.
2. Direct County Administrator, in cooperation with the Sheriff's epartment and
other appropriate agencies to explore the feasibility of this County submitting
a formal application for Substance Abuse Community Correctional Detention Centers
Fund monies and report back to the Board with further, recommendations by
October 31, 1991.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact, at this time. The Letter of Intent merely assures that
this County can apply for these State funds if it so chooses. That decision will be
made by your Board at a later date.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The State Board of Corrections has announced in a Request for Proposal (RFP) that $15
million statewide in construction funding is available through Chapter 1594, Statutes
of 1990, establishing the Substance Abuse Community Correctional Detention Centers
Fund. The purpose of the legislation is to develop model State local substance abuse
programs that are commensurate with public safety, including the construction of local
bed space that would also be used for California Department of Corrections inmates.
This Office is proposing that the required Letter of- Intent be submitted by October 1
so that this County can compete for these funds if it so chooses. In order to make a
firm recommendation to the Board by October 31 as to whether it seems feasible to
proceed with an application, this Office will work with the Sheriff-Coroner and other
appropriate agencies to explore the feasibility of responding to this RFP. We will
take into account in that planning what local funds might be required f r construction
and for ongoing expenses. We will thoroughly explore whether or not such a program
makes sense for this County, 'can meet our needs, and can do so without the infusion of
additional General Funds money. We will report b o our and by October 31 with
the results of our study.
