FISCAL IMPACT:
$522,000 in FY 2015/16 (100% State Public Safety Realignment)

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

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 2015/16, the CCP-Executive Committee approved the 2015/16 AB109 Public Safety Realignment
budget at the January 9, 2015 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and
approval. On February 9, 2015, 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. On
May 12, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Recommended Budget for Contra Costa County for FY
2015/16, including the AB109 Public Safety Realignment budget.
Today's action approves and authorizes the execution of contracts, including modified indemnification and insurance
provisions, with the cities of Richmond, Concord, Pittsburg, and Antioch for AB 109 police services, in the aggregate
amount of $522,000 for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action would result in the four contracts not being approved.
