FISCAL IMPACT:
BACKGROUND:
The enacted State Budget retains the proposed realignment of public safety programs from
the state to local governments through the implementation of the Community Corrections
Grant Program previously authorized under AB 109. Several budget bills include
components of realignment financing, recognizing that additional work to refine the
financing structure will take place over the remainder of the legislative session. The most
significant, AB 118, directs approximately $5.6 billion (1.0625% of the existing sales tax
rate and the redirection of VLF revenues) to support 2011 Public Safety Realignment. It
creates the Community Corrections Grant Program for purposes of funding and making
operative the provisions of AB 109 and outlines the financial structure for allocating funds
to a variety of accounts (programs) for realignment. It establishes the Local Revenue Fund
2011 (Fund) for purposes of receiving revenues and continuously appropriates funds from
that account to counties. Counties are also directed to create several local program accounts
to receive these funds. Specific allocations by program are, for the most part, prescribed in
the statute as a percentage of state revenue earned and, in some instances, capped at a
specific dollar amount. Contra Costa County’s share of the many of the subprogram
allocations is set at approximately 1.3% of the statewide allocation.
Of particular note, AB 118 dedicates $489.9 million to the newly established Local Law
Enforcement Services Account, approximately $15 million less than the expected funding
amount of $505 million.
AB 118 makes clear that allocation formulas apply only to the first year of realignment;
methodologies for 2012/13 and beyond are open to review and revision. The Legislature
intends for sufficient protections be in place to provide ongoing funding and mandate
protection for the state and local government. Of particular note in the near?term, AB 118
outlines a separate allocation for the $12.7 million designated for district attorney and public
defender responsibilities in 2011/12 associated with the local revocation process for those
on PRCS. AB 118 further provides for equal distribution to the district attorney and public
defender offices at the local level.
Today's action will authorize the Auditor-Controller to establish the required accounting and
finance structure that will permit the County to receive State realignment funding
distributions in compliance with AB 118.
