HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12022014 - C.43RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No.5026 recognizing revenue in the amount of $1,160,231 from
the State of California and appropriate is in various County departments for the continued implementation of AB109
Public Safety Realignment for fiscal year 2014/15.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional fiscal impact. This action recognizes actual revenue allocations from the State of California for AB 109
Public Safety Realignment. The expenditure appropriations were approved by the Board of Supervisors in May 2014
as part of the FY 2014/15 County Budget process. Today's 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:FY 2014/15 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 2013/14, the CCP-Executive Committee recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a budget of $22,872,666, which was composed of
$21,235,766 in ongoing and $1,636,900 in one-time funding for various AB 109 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 2014/15, Contra Costa County anticipates the receipt of $20,669,6791 from the community corrections allocation of AB 109 Public Safety
Realignment revenue – a decrease of $3,165,3442 over the fiscal year 2013/14 allocation. The Board previously approved the 2014/15 AB 109 Public Safety
Realignment budget, including status quo-level funding for existing programs, in the amount of $22,407,133; $21,307,133 in ongoing and $1,100,000 in
one-time funding.
The CCP-Executive Committee approved the 2014/15 AB 109 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.
On May 13, 2014, the Board of Supervisors formally approved the 2014/15 County Budget, including the AB 109 budget as recommended by the Public
Protection Committee. Today's action increases revenue and expenditure appropriations based on funding from the State and the Approved AB 109 budget
and keeps the 2014/15 County budget balanced.
1Based on final recommendation of Realignment Allocation Committee, October 2014
2Based on actual revenue collected in fiscal year 2013/14
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations and estimated revenue currently in the FY 2014/15 County budget will not accurately reflect
allocations of AB 109 public safety realignment revenue from the State.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
