HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12152015 - C.16RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5026 reducing expenditure appropriations and estimated
revenue $3,778,903 from the State of California related to continued implementation of AB109 Public Safety
Realignment for fiscal year 2015/16 with no impact to operating departments or contracting agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No additional fiscal impact. This action recognizes revenue allocations from the State of California at the FY 2015/16
budget level approved by the Community Corrections Executive Committee and the Board of Supervisors for AB
109 Public Safety Realignment. The expenditure appropriations were approved by the Board of Supervisors in May
2015 as part of the FY 2015/16 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 2015/16 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 fiscal year 2015/16, the CCP-Executive Committee recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a budget of $24,011,574, which is composed
of $21,458,315 in various ongoing AB 109 implementation efforts and programming and $2,553,259 in one-time funding carried forward from FY 2013/14
and 2014/15. 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 2015/16, Contra Costa County anticipates the receipt of $19,938,4971 from the community corrections allocation of AB 109 Public Safety
Realignment revenue and an additional – a decrease of $731,1822 over the fiscal year 2014/15 allocation.
The CCP-Executive Committee approved the 2015/16 AB 109 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.
On May 12, 2015, the Board of Supervisors formally approved the 2015/16 County Budget, including the AB 109 budget as recommended by the Public
Protection Committee. Today's action adjusts revenue and expenditure appropriations based on funding from the State and the Approved AB 109 budget and
keeps the 2015/16 County budget balanced.
1Based on final recommendation of Realignment Allocation Committee, September 2015
2Based on actual revenue collected in fiscal year 2014/15
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appropriations and estimated revenue currently in the FY 2015/16 County budget will not accurately reflect
allocations of AB 109 public safety realignment revenue from the State.
