APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5021 authorizing new revenue in
the amount of $26,977,815 for criminal justice programs from the State of California under
AB 109 public safety realignment and appropriating it to various budget units within new
Fund 115300 - County Local Revenue Fund 2011, as required by AB 118, for expenditure
in the current fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct impact to the County General Fund, as the new revenue and expenditure
appropriations are accounted for in a separate fund as required by statute.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2011/12 budget plan, the State Legislature enacted a major shift or
"realignment" of state program responsibilities and revenues to local governments. The
criminal justice or “Phase I” portion of 2011 realignment results in the following new
responsibilities for counties:

Subject:ESTABLISH APPROPRIATIONS IN THE COUNTY LOCAL REVENUE FUND 2011 FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY REALIGNMENT (AB 109)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Incarceration of lower-level offenders (specified non-violent, non-serious, non-sex
offenders) in local county jail and an expanded role for post-release supervision for these
offenders;
Post-release supervision of lower-level offenders (those released from prison after
having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense) by
creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release Community Supervision
(PRCS);
Housing responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations in local jail custody
While there is a promise of funding beyond FY 2011/12, there is no guarantee. Counties
are actively seeking a constitutional amendment to secure a guarantee of continued
funding to support the shifted responsibilities.
Assembly Bill 118 prescribes how counties must receive and account for revenues
transferred under 2011 realignment. The legislation requires establishment of a County
Local Revenue Fund 2011 and myriad sub-accounts that must be tracked and reported to
the state at a future date. Approval of the attached adjustments will appropriate an
estimated $27 million in realignment revenue to support existing and newly realigned
programs, including the Community Corrections Plan adopted by the Board on October
4, 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the adjustments are not approved, the Sheriff, Probation, Health Services, District
Attorney, and Public Defender departments will not be able to obtain the necessary
resources to comply with new program mandates and the County will be out of
compliance with the requirements of AB 109 and AB 118.
