FROM: RICHARD K. RAINEY �n
Sheriff-Coroner Costa
DATE: October 17, 1984 County
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT OF 1984/85 CONTRACT WITH FRIENDS OUTSIDE FOR SERVICES TO
JAIL INMATES AND THEIR FAMILIES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation
Increase the payment limit of the contract with Friends Outside from $34,323 to $46,323
and authorize the County Administrator .or his designee to execute the amended contract
on behalf of the County with Friends Outside.
Background
On April 24 and June 5, 1984, your Board took approval actions related to the 1984/85
County Justice System Subvention Program (AB 90) . As a part of this program, Friends
Outside was funded at a level of $34,323.00, substantially less than the operating costs
of the program.
Friends Outside provides a variety of services to inmates in the County's detention
facilities and their families. In addition, Friends Outside trains all volunteers at
the facilities and coordinates their utilization. These services are especially important
to the Department at the present time, given the .severe overcrowding at the Martinez
Detention Facility. However, the increased demand for service resulting from overcrowding
creates a great strain on the limited resources of Friends Outside.
Through its Director, Friends Outside assists in the development, implementation and
coordination of programs (including educational and vocational)at the County detention
facilities. The leadership Friends Outside has taken in this area provides a valuable
resource which will be used extensively during the pre-architectural programming phase
of planning for the new County detention facility. This work, which will be underway
shortly, is scheduled for completion by the end of the current fiscal year.
In order that Friends Outside have sufficient funds to provide these necessary services,
the Sheriff's Department proposes to increase the contract payment limit by $12,000,
utilizing existing funds appropriated to the Department.
