BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
On June 14, 1983 and June 20, 1983, your Board took various actions related to approval
of projects, project amounts and contracts on the 1983/84 County Justice System
Subvention Program. (This is the AB 90 program as reauthorized by Chapter 288 of the
Statutes of 1983. [Senate Bill 789]) All 1983/84 projects were approved at 92.33%
of the 1982/83 amounts, which was an increase over the 90% level estimated in the
1983/84 Proposed County Budget. The Board's action of June 14 did not allocate 1982/83
carryover and directed the County Administrator to prepare a report to the Board of
Supervisors recommending the use of such carryover after legislative and fiscal
uncertainties concerning the availability and amount of these funds had been settled.
The above recommendations relate to the reprogramming of $64,562 of 1982/83 Subvention
Program funds which were unused and carried forward for use in 1983/84. These funds
must be expended by June 30, 1984. Virtually all of this carryover was generated by the
four agencies included in the above recommendations. Any savings realized in these
projects in this fiscal year will be in 1983/84 funds which can then be carried forward
into 1984/85.
This report recommends augmentation with 1982/83 carryover of five approved projects.
Augmentation of the three AB 3121 projects will enable those agencies to more of ctiv y

operate those mandated delinquency programs. This is particularly true for the District
Attorney's Office which by virtue of recent legislation has been given additional
mandated duties in the handling of delinquency petitions (W&I Code 602) and for which
additional County funds had to be appropriated in 1982/83. Augmentation of the Pre-
Trial Diversion project will free up some County funds which can, in turn, be shifted
to support the increasing costs of AB 3121 services in the District Attorney's Office.
Augmentation of the Criminal Justice Agency's project will permit the following
activities to go forward in an effective manner:
1. Financing of necessary Proposition 2 (County Jail Capital Construction Fund) costs
related to site acquisition and planning which includes beginning work on the
Environmental Impact Report related to the recently-designated Shell Oil Company
Site (Board Order of September 27, 1983) . This will permit portions of the report
to be drafted by Criminal Justice Agency staff by the middle of February 1984 so
that if State jail funds are forthcoming, this County will be in a position to
proceed immediately with a State contract. (Approximately $20,000)
2. Continue the planning on interim program and facility solutions relating to
overcrowding at the Martinez Detention Facility and to monitor and evaluate on
an ongoing basis both the Home Detention and County Parole Programs (Board Order
of September 27, 1983) . The June 20, 1983 Board Order recommends such augmentation
for overcrowding and Proposition 2 planning. (Approximately $7,000)
3. Complete the Juvenile Corrections Master Plan for which approximately two to three
months of work is necessary. This project was originally scheduled for completion
last fiscal year but had to be delayed particularly because of the intensive staff
effort required for the new jail plan. (Approximately $6,000)
Utilization of carryover funds in this way will allow for implementation of these high
priority programs as well as rewarding agencies able to accumulate a carryover within
their assigned allocation.
