APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5034 recognizing revenue in the amount of $3,654,620
from the State of California and appropriate is in various County departments for the continued implementation of
AB109 Public Safety Realignment for fiscal year 2013/14.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional fiscal impact. This action recognizes actual revenue allocations from the State of California for AB109
public safety realignment. The expenditure appropriations were approved by the Board of Supervisors in May 2013
as part of the FY 2013/14 AB109 budget process. Since this occurred after the FY2013/14 County Budget had been
adopted, todays action is necessary to update appropriations and revenue formally within the County budget.
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:

County
Subject:FY2013/14 AB109 PUBLIC SAFETY REALIGNMENT BUDGET
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 Board previously approved 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 is
recommended to remain unappropriated and reserved for the establishment of a Pre-Trial services program.
The CCP-Executive Committee approved the 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 formally approved the 2013/14 AB109 budget as recommended by
the Public Protection Committee. Today's action balances the 2013/14 County budget with the AB109 budget
approved by the Board in May 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations and estimated revenue currently in the FY 2013/14 County budget will not accurately reflect
allocations of AB109 public safety realignment revenue approved by the Board of Supervisors after the 2013/14
budget process had concluded.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
