FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval this action will result in a cost of $1,720,683; 100% State AB109 Public Safety Realignment
funding. Departments will request reimbursement from the County Administrator's Office for personnel costs
related to providing services to AB109 clients. All reimbursements are funded by the Local Revenue Fund 2011
(Fund No. 115700).
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the California Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law the Public Safety Realignment Act
(Assembly Bill 109), which transfers responsibility for supervising specific low-level inmates and parolees from
the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109)
took effect on October 1, 2011 and realigns three major areas of the criminal justice system. On a prospective
basis, the legislation:
Transfers the location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified non-violent, non-serious,
non-sex offenders) from state prison to local county jail and provides for an expanded role for post-release
supervision for these offenders;
Transfers responsibility for 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) from the state to the
county level by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS);
Transfers the housing responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail custody.
AB 109 also tasked the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) with recommending to the County Board
of Supervisors a plan for implementing criminal justice realignment. The Board of Supervisors adopted the
Contra Costa County Realignment Plan on October 4, 2011 (Agenda Item No. D.5), as recommended by the
Executive Committee of the CCP. The Executive Committee of the CCP is composed of the County Probation
Officer (Chair), Sheriff-Coroner, a Chief of Police (represented by the Richmond Police Chief), District Attorney,
Public Defender, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court or designee (represented by the Court Director of Business
Planning, Information and Programs), and County Behavioral Health Director.
For 2012/13, the CCP-Executive Committee recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a budget of
$20,689,520, which was composed of $16,665,069 in ongoing and $4,024,451 in one-time funding for various
AB109 implementation efforts and programming. Ongoing expenditures are primarily made up of salary and
benefit costs for permanent employees and service contract expenditures while one-time expenditures include
capital acquisition and/or fixed asset costs.
For fiscal year 2013/14, Contra Costa County anticipates the receipt of $22,854,832 from the community
corrections allocation of AB109 Public Safety Realignment revenue – an increase of $3,569,502 over the fiscal
year 2012/13 allocation. The CCP-Executive Committee approved 2013/14 AB109 Public Safety Realignment
budget at the May 10, 2013 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and
approval. On May 16, 2013, the Public Protection Committee accepted the CCP-Executive Committee's
recommendations and added $200,000 to the Sheriff's Office allocation for the establishment of a "Jail to
Community" program for consideration by the full Board of Supervisors. On May 21, 2013, the Board of
Supervisors approved (Agenda Item D.3) the 2013/14 AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget, including
increased funding for existing programs and new funding for additional programming, in the amount of
$23,072,666; $21,435,766 in ongoing and $1,636,900 in one-time funding. Of this amount, $900,000 was
recommended to remain unappropriated and reserved for the establishment of a Pre-Trial services program.
Today's action allocates positions to county departments to implement the 2013/14 AB109 Public Safety
Realignment budget (see individual P300s and Summary P300 Attachment).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Positions funded in the 2013/14 AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget will not be added to departments for
provision of services to the AB109 population. Departments will be unable to provide services to the AB109
population consistent with the 2013/14 AB109 budget.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
