ATTESTED: February 26, 2013 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: SD. 6 To:Board of Supervisors From:PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE Date:February 26, 2013 Contra Costa County Subject:APPOINTMENT AND LOGISITICS OF THE 2013 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PARTNERSHIP (CCP) AND CCP-EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE BACKGROUND: The California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011), which transferred responsibility for supervising certain lower-level inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. Assembly Bill 109 (AB109) took effect on October 1, 2011 and realigned three major areas of the criminal justice system. On a prospective basis, the legislation: • Transferred the location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified nonviolent, 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; • Transferred 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); • Transferred the custody responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail, administered by county sheriffs AB109 also created an Executive Committee of the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and tasked it with recommending a Realignment Plan (Plan) to the county Board of Supervisors for implementation of the criminal justice realignment. The Community Corrections Partnership is identified in statute as the following: Community Corrections Partnership 1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair) 2. Presiding Judge (or designee) 3. County supervisor, CAO, or a designee of the BOS 4. District Attorney 5. Public Defender 6. Sheriff 7. Chief of Police 8. Head of the County department of social services 9. Head of the County department of mental health 10. Head of the County department of employment 11. Head of the County alcohol and substance abuse programs 12. Head of the County Office of Education 13. CBO representative with experience in rehabilitative services for criminal offenders 14. Victims’ representative Later in 2011, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011), which served as “clean up” legislation to AB109. Assembly Bill 117 (AB117) changed, among other things, the composition of the local CCP-Executive Committee. The CCP-Executive Committee is currently identified in statute as the following: Community Corrections Partnership-Executive Committee 1. Chief Probation Officer (Chair) 2. Presiding Judge (or designee) 3. District Attorney 4. Public Defender 5. Sheriff 6. A Chief of Police 7. The head of either the County department of social services, mental health, or alcohol and drug services (as designated by the board of supervisors) Although AB109 and AB117 collectively place the majority of initial planning activities for Realignment on the local CCP, it is important to note that neither piece of legislation cedes powers vested in a county Board of Supervisors’ oversight of and purview over how AB109 funding is spent. Once the Plan is adopted, the Board of Supervisors may choose to implement that Plan in any manner it may wish. A detailed analysis of AB117 from the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) is attached for reference. Today’s recommended actions were approved by the Public Protection Committee (PPC) at the February 11, 2013 regular meeting. The Committee recommends an appointment term of one-year for all non ex-officio seats and plans to make appointment/reappointment recommendations to the Board of Supervisors annually. In addition, the PPC acknowledged that, under California law, the Police Chief seat is appointed by the Board of Supervisors, upon recommendation of the PPC, and that the appointee will be rotated between the cities with the highest number of AB109 population (which currently are Richmond, Pittsburg, Antioch and Concord). To maintain continuity during the initial startup of the county realignment program, the Richmond Police Chief is recommended to continue to serve on the CCP during calendar year 2013. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and CCP-Executive Committee will not be formally seated for calendar year 2013. In addition, staff resources will not be allocated to provide administrative support to both committees. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: No impact.

Meeting Date:11/14/2013   Submitted For: Mark Peterson, District Attorney  Department:District Attorney Referral No.: N/A   Referral Name: CY2013 STATUS UPDATE ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE FRAUD INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION EFFORTS  Presenter: Mark Peterson, District Attorney Contact: Bobbi Spinola, (925)957-2214 Referral History: This referral began in September 2006, when the Employment and Human Services (EHS) Department updated the Internal Operations Committee (IOC) on its efforts to improve internal security and loss prevention activities. The IOC had requested the department to report back in nine months on any tools and procedures that have been developed and implemented to detect changes in income eligibility for welfare benefits. The EHS Director made follow-up reports to IOC in May and October 2007, describing what policies, procedures, and practices are employed by the Department to ensure that public benefits are provided only to those who continue to meet income eligibility requirements, explaining the complaint and follow-through process, and providing statistical data for 2005/06, 2006/07, and for the first quarter of 2007/08. Upon creation of the PPC in January 2008, this matter was reassigned from the IOC to the PPC. PPC received a status report on this referral in October 2008 and, again, in June 2010. The Committee requested staff to report back on how the County’s program compares to a statewide fraud rate, if such a rate exists. The Committee also requested a follow-up report on the IHSS fraud program and the transition of welfare fraud collections from the Office of Revenue Collection (now disbanded) to the Employment and Human Services Department. On October 18, 2010, the PPC received a status report from the District Attorney and the Employment and Human Services Director on the Welfare Fraud Investigations and Prosecutions Program, addressing the specific questions of the PPC from the June 21 meeting. As the PPC wishes to monitor performance of the welfare fraud program, it is recommended that this matter be retained on referral with a follow-up report in one year. The last status report provided to the PPC was on November 5, 2012. Referral Update: The District Attorney's Office is making this year's report to the Committee. The District Attorney's Office is making this year's report to the Committee. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): ACCEPT a status report from the District Attorney on Public Assistance Fraud investigation and prosecution efforts within the County. Fiscal Impact (if any): No fiscal impact. This report is informational only. Attachments No file(s) attached.
