Richmond, Concord, Pittsburg, and Antioch in an aggregate amount not to exceed $522,000 to provide AB109 police
services for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$522,000, 100% State AB109 Public Safety Realignment funds.
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

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 fiscal year 2014/15, the CCP-Executive Committee approved 2014/15 AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget
at the February 14, 2014 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval.
On February 24, 2014, the Public Protection Committee accepted the CCP-Executive Committee's recommendations,
including the continuation of funding in the amount of $522,000 for front line police services as proposed by the
Contra Costa County Police Chief's Association.
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.
