California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) took

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 approves contracts with the cities of Richmond, Concord, Pittsburg and Antioch in the aggregate
amount of $522,000 ($130,500 per city) for the addition of 4.0 FTE Police Officer positions to implement the AB109
budget proposal submitted by the Contra Costa County Police Chief's Association to provide coordinated support of
AB109 related law enforcement activities. Each city will receive the same amount of funding and will match the
County's investment in-kind to ensure that 1.0 FTE is deployed in each city.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would result in the four contracts not being approved.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
