APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Donte Blue in an
amount not to exceed $133,500 to perform coordination services for the County’s reentry process for the period of

FISCAL IMPACT:
$133,500, 100% State AB109 Public Safety Realignment Funding.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2011/12 budget plan, the State Legislature enacted a realignment of some offenders and adult parolees
from state to local jurisdiction. These lower-level offenders were placed on community supervision at the county
level and supervised by the County’s Probation Department. The Board of Supervisors approved the County’s
Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) 2011/12 Plan on October 4, 2011 at which time the Probation Department
began the process of hiring a contractor to coordinate the County’s Reentry Strategic Plan for the CCP.

Subject:Contract with Donte Blue for Reentry Coordinator Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
a competitive process to select the incumbent Reentry Coordinator. After two years, it was decided that it would be
best for the County and the Community to complete a formal RFQ (Request for Qualifications) process. On May 1,
2014 the Probation Department released the RFQ to the public. The incumbent declined to participate.
A Review Panel consisting of the Chief Probation Officer, the Director of Behavioral Health Services, and the City of
Concord Police Chief reviewed all applications and interviewed all qualified candidates. Two candidates were
selected to participate in a further interview. The Chief Probation Officer, Assistant Chief Probation Officer and
Senior Deputy County Administrator Lara Delaney participated. At the conclusion of this process Donte Blue was
selected as the Probation Department's new Reentry Coordinator.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contra Costa County's Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) will have to function without a Reentry
Coordinator, making it difficult to support inter-organizational coordination.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
