2. PROVIDE direction to staff as necessary.
This item was a workshop, no formal action was taken.
The Committee did provide the following direction to staff based on the discussion
at the meeting:
1. Central/East County Housing Contract : The Committee directed staff to search
for a new housing provider for Central/East County AB 109 returning citizens due
to the critical need for housing in that area.
2. CBO Contract Amendments : The Committee directed staff to amend existing
contracts with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to allow for the provision
of reentry services to all returning citizens, but maintaining a priority for the
current AB 109 population. This will allow CBOs flexibility to provide services to
non-AB 109 returning citizens in situations where excess programming capacity is
available.
Staff will return to the Committee with updates and to the Board of Supervisors for
formal action as necessary.
5. The next meeting is currently scheduled for Monday, February 9, 2015 at 1:00 PM.

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 4.
Meeting Date:02/09/2015
SUBJECT:FY 2015/16 AB109 Public Safety Realignment Budget
FROM: David Twa, County Administrator
DEPARTMENT:County Administrator
RECOMMENDATION:
REVIEW and APPROVE fiscal year 2015/16 AB 109 budget recommendations for integration into the fiscal year
2015/16 County Recommended Budget for consideration by the Board of Supervisors, as recommended by the
CCP-Executive Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2014, the County Administrator's Office distributed budget instructions for the fiscal year 2015/16
AB 109 budget development process to the CCP subscriber list, including CCP members, county staff and
interested parties, including community based organizations, requesting formal submission no later than December
12, 2014. This year, staff requested budget submissions to: 1. maintain the status quo funding level at the fiscal year
2014/15 Ongoing budget level, and 2. contemplate new funding requests based on programming needs.
On December 5, 2014, the CCP received a report from staff about the budget development process in advance of its
January 9, 2015 meeting to consider budget proposals. In summary, staff reported that the Realignment Allocation
Committee (RAC) made its final recommendations to the California Department of Finance, which included a
significant reduction in base allocation funding to the County beginning in fiscal year 2014/15 (Attachment A). The
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) has estimated that the impact to the County's base allocation to be
a reduction from $22.9 million in fiscal year 2013/14 to $17.6 million for fiscal year 2015/16.
On January 9, 2015, the CCP met to consider budget requests submitted (Attachment B) for fiscal year 2015/16.
The CCP met as a whole to deliberate over the budget; however, the final budget was voted on by the
CCP-Executive Committee as required by State statute. In summary the CCP-Executive Committee, on a 5-2-0 vote (Lipetzky and Lyster-Zemmelmann dissenting
Lipetzky and Lyster-Zemmelmann dissenting) approved a $21,458,315 budget (Attachment C), which increases
expenditures slightly by 0.71% over the fiscal year 2014/15 budget. Essentially, the budget maintains a status quo
for all programs, with the following exceptions:
1. Sheriff's Office : The recommended budget increases the Sheriff's Office budget by $181,360 primarily in
recognition of negotiated wage increases with the Deputy Sheriff's Association. In addition, the CCP-Executive
Committee agreed to identify, but not budget, $754k of funding should state of federal policy discontinue the ability
of counties to collect commissions on inmate telecommunications to fund inmate welfare programming. Should a
state or federal policy change occur, the Sheriff's Office would bring the issue back before the CCP for additional
discussion. Note that the issue of inmate telecommunications is currently on referral to the Public Protection
Committee as well.
2. District Attorney's Office: The recommended budget decreases the District Attorney's budget by $20,178 at the
request of the District Attorney to better align with actual expenditure experience related to AB 109 programs.
3. Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence (ZTDV): The recommended budget decreases the ZTDV budget by
$10,000 at the request of the department to better align with anticipated expenditures related to AB 109 programs.
The impact to the County from the statewide formula change will require the use of one-time funding in fiscal year
Page 7 of 85
2015/16 to supplement the significant reduction to the County's base allocation. The use of one-time funding to
supplement the base allocation is projected to continue through fiscal year 2017/18 or 2018/19 (assuming no
additional changes to the formula).
DISCUSSION:
The action before the Public Protection Committee today is to review and approve, including any amendments, the
fiscal year 2015/16 AB 109 budget submitted by the CCP-Executive Committee. Once approved, staff will integrate
the AB 109 budget into the fiscal year 2015/16 County Recommended Budget for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors. Currently, budget hearings are scheduled for April 21, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT (if any):
The fiscal year 2014/15 Ongoing Budget for AB 109 is $21,307,133. The California State Association of Counties
(CSAC) is projecting that Contra Costa County will receive $25,237,318 in fiscal year 2015/16, which is composed
of $17,569,227 in base funding, $1,461,810 in growth funding and $6,206,281 in one-time growth funding
($5,587,662 in "Transition Payment" funding and $618,619 in "Fiscal Stabilization" funding).

This will include but is not limited to completion of the CAIS risk needs assessment tool, develop a case plan, and begin the triage process already developed to ensure the most seamless transition from being in custody and returning to our communities. • one (1) FTE clerk• Partial FTE for additional management supervision and IT support, as well as projected overtime. Operating costs of $223,597 are requested for:• $74,597 for ongoing vehicle maintenance, communication costs for all DPOs, incentives for probation clients including bus/BART tickets, and food for weekly “Thinking for a Change” meetings.• One‐year contract with re‐entry coordinator in the amount of $125,000.• One‐year contract with Victim Offender Education Group (VOEG) in the amount of $19,000.• An additional $5,000 is requested to pay for warrant pickups. Probation has the responsibility of the post release community supervision population as well as those sentenced to prison pursuant to 1170(h) and subsequently released from county jail. When a warrant and/or revocation is issued and results in an arrest in another jurisdiction we are notified by that county to pick up that person or they will be released. In the past the Sheriff would pick these detained people and transport them back to our county. The Sheriff has discontinued that service but would be willing to do so if their cost can be offset. Since we do not want those arrested individuals released from those other county jails we are asking for the estimated revenue needed to bring them back to our county for their court hearing in a timely manner.Page 49 of 85

PROGRAM NARRATIVE:Please provide a narrative describing the Status Quo programming that will be provided with the budget requests identified above.Example:2015/16 Status Quo RequestThe Office of the Public Defender makes the following status quo requests:1. ACER PROGRAM: This program provides for early representation for in‐custody clients at the first court appearance. The program furthers the goals of reducing recidivism, reducing pretrial detention rates, reducing unnecessary court appearances, and encouraging early disposition of cases2. Social Worker: The Public Defender Social Worker provides social histories and needs assessments for clients to support appropriate case dispositions.3. Clean slate Paralegal: Provides clean slate services for indigent persons county‐wide.2015/16 New Funding RequestThe Office of the Public Defender makes the following new funding requests for FY 2015/16:Note: The Office of the Public Defnder is not requesting renewed funding for the Domestic Violence position. We have not seen an increase in D.V. filings that would justify continued funding for this position.1. Reentry Coordinator: This request is to fund a fulltime Deputy Public Defender IV who would oversee and coordinate the Public Defender's work with the various reentry programs and procedures county‐wide that impact our clients.2. Additional Legal Assistant for the ACER Program: We are currently staffing the ACER calendars with 2 fulltime legal assistants; we need to fund the second Legal Assistant in order to continue staffing this program.3. Additional Clean Slate Legal Assistant: The need for clean slate services has outgrown the ability of one Legal Assistant, resulting in unnecessary delays and backlogs in filing expungement petitions. We need a second legal assistant position to accomodate the need.Page 59 of 85

PROGRAM NARRATIVE:2015/16 Status Quo RequestThe Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI) requests $40,000 for the ongoing provision of targeted data collection/evaluation services. These evaluation services will include a focus on domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA) as a critical element in evaluating AB109s effect on recidivism rates, the impact on public safety (reunification with families, victims) and successful reintegration of individuals back into the community. Evaluation activities include: analyzing existing data points related to DV/SA; evaluation of AB109 programs' alignment with best practices related to victims of crime with a focus on the DV and SA arena including assessing risk and effective interventions.This targeted evaluation will continue to link to the larger AB 109 evaluation effort. It is anticipated that outcomes from this targeted evaluation will be integrated into the overall AB 109 evaluation effort in the coming year. As a result, requested funding represents a 20% reduction from FY 14/15.2015/16 New Funding RequestPage 63 of 85

Budget Narrative: Proposals Made by CCP Community Advisory Board for Budget Year 2015 – 2016
I. Introduction
CAB continues to recommend that CCP invest significant funds in community programs to
continue development of the local non-profit services sector. The CCP should therefore
continue to support community based programs. Funding these programs is consistent with
the nationwide effort of justice reinvestment. Staying this course will ensure our communities
gain the capacity to provide reentry services with high levels of quality and fidelity, and is the
best way to achieve lasting reductions in recidivism and enhanced public safety outcomes in
the long run.
As AB109 funded community based programs enter into their third year of operations (with
the exception of the Reentry Resource Center and Network), they understand that they serve a
function within the County that has increased value due to major shifts in California’s criminal
justice policies. From prison realignment to three strikes reform, and most recently with Prop
47, the message is clear: Californians want a criminal justice system that is able to balance the
need for punishment with an ability to account for the long term economic and social costs
mass incarceration has on a community. With changes in the law giving rise to more
individuals serving their custody and supervision times locally, CAB sees the added value of
investments into communities and community based programs. This will ensure they both
able to develop the capacity necessary to make high quality services accessible to those who
need them most.
CAB applauds the County for its willingness to involve interested community stakeholders in
the realignment development and implementation processes. We further ask for more
effective collaboration across and among sectors that requires more accountability and
transparency from all stakeholders. CAB represents a community that is deeply committed to
creating a successful reentry system. We believe that public agencies and community based
programs alike should be interested in finding ways to improve, and how they can support
each other in these efforts.
As outlined below, CAB mostly adheres to the directive to present a status quo budget for
2015-16. The slight increases requested by CAB are the result of those in the community
identifying needs not currently met by the current allocation levels.
II. Status Quo Request
CAB is not opposed to a status quo approach for 2015-16, and believes this will give time to
develop ongoing evaluation for all programs supported by AB109 funds and a new strategy for
funding these programs going forward. To accomplish this, CAB recommends that the CCP
carve out and institutionalize a data and evaluation component for the AB109 programs whose
main goal is to help build and sustain the capacity of the County to engage in a data driven
decision making process. Beyond the upcoming fiscal year, CAB also recommends that the
County develop a policy for awarding contracts that resembles the funding cycle of most
grants. This would allow a multi-year award to be allocated with a timeline that allowed for
implementation, and periodic evaluations and renewals. When these two initiatives are
combined, the data to make difficult decisions will be available, and the opportunity to change
course when necessary will already be built into the funding structure.
Page 73 of 85
Consistent with the current directive for a status quo budget, CAB recommends that the CCP
keeps current funding levels for community based services that include housing, employment,
mentoring, legal services, family reunification, and the Reentry Resource Guide. For those
reentering their communities after periods of incarceration, these services provide support in
the core areas of housing and employment and needed supportive areas that help to reduce
barriers to reentry.
III. One Stop Centers
As the County pursues the implementation of different plans to help citizens within various
regions of the County access reentry services, the differences in the plans has made their
implementations evolve with a similar difference. For the Networked System of Services that is
emerging in the East and Central regions of the County, boots are already on the ground
working with returning citizens, service providers, and interested community members to
develop the relationships necessary to make this work. In doing this early work, it has been
determined that housing is still an essential need that must be focused on going forward.
Additionally, transportation needs must be looked at as well. The inability of returning citizens
to get from one service provider to the next is a real concern, and future funding decision
should account for this need.
In West County, boots are also on the ground attempting to develop relationships and build
processes that will also be essential to making things at the Reentry Center function smoothly.
However, initial delays in implementing the program were largely a function of an inability to
find a location for the center that met the demands of the program. With a location now
worked out, there have been early assessments of needs that led to a couple determinations.
Firstly, the ongoing costs for facilities have turned out to cost slightly more than originally
projected. Additionally, because the current staffing plan only includes the Center Director and
two Resource Coordinators, there is a void for ongoing administrative support of the center’s
functions. This second need is one identified in the Implementation Plan approved by the
County, but one that doesn’t currently fit within the operating budget at its current level.
Given these needs outlined above, CAB is recommending that the CCP augment current
funding levels for the Reentry One Stop Centers at $50,000 for each region of the County.
These additions would allow provide for the increased cost for the facilities and administrative
support at the West County Reentry Resource center, and also provide additional funding to
the East and Central Networked System of services that would provide increased funding for
transitional housing and ongoing reserves for operational needs that include transportation.
We recommend this continued funding for the One Stop Centers with our understanding that
their budgets will be similar to that attached here as “ATTACHMENT A.”

THE PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE
Page 78 of 85
BACKGROUND:
The Public Protection Committee (PPC) was established on January 8, 2008 to study criminal justice and public
protection issues and formulate recommendations for consideration by the Board of Supervisors. At the February
2015 regular meeting, the Committee discussed all issues currently on referral and has made the following
recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for the 2015 PPC work-plan:
1. Opportunities to Improve Coordination of Response to Disasters and Other Public Emergencies.
Approximately three weeks following the November 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill, the Sheriff’s Office of Emergency
Services (OES) presented to the Board of Supervisors its assessment of the emergency response efforts, including
what worked well and didn’t work well, and what lessons were learned through those experiences. At the conclusion
of the Board discussion, Supervisor Gioia introduced five recommendations that were approved by the Board.
On February 5, 2008 the Board of Supervisors referred this matter to the PPC for continuing development and
oversight. PPC received a status report from the Office of the Sheriff and Health Services Department in February
2009 and requested the Hazardous Materials Program Manager to report back to the PPC on the development of
mutual aid agreements from local oil refineries. Following a second briefing to the PPC by the Office of the Sheriff,
the PPC reported out to the Board of Supervisors on May 6, 2009 with recommendations for follow-up by the Sheriff
and Human Resources departments. The Health Services Department made a report to the PPC on April 19, 2010
regarding the resources and connections available to respond to hazardous materials emergencies and, again, on
October 18, 2010 regarding who determines which local official participates in incident command if an event is in
Contra Costa County. On December 5, 2011, Health Services reported to our Committee regarding training and
deployment of community volunteers.
In January 2008, the Board of Supervisors referred to the PPC the matter of improving public response to emergency
instructions and protocols through broader and better education, which had previously been on referral to the IOC.
The Board suggested that the PPC work with the Office of the Sheriff, the Health Services Department, and the
CAER (Community Awareness & Emergency Response) Program to determine what educational efforts are being
made and what additional efforts may be undertaken to improve public response and safety during an emergency. In
April 2011, the PPC met with CAER (Community Awareness Emergency Response) Executive Director Tony
Semenza and staff from the Office of the Sheriff and Health Services to discuss what has been done to better inform
the public and what more can be done to improve public response to emergency warnings. CAER provided a thorough
report on its countywide community fairs, and programs targeted at the education system and non-English speaking
populations. The PPC asked CAER to provide a written outreach strategy that describes how new homeowners are
educated about emergency awareness. As the matter has not been brought back to the PPC since the April 2011
discussion, we recommend that this matter be continued to the 2015 PPC. The current draft work plan for CY2015
has scheduled this discussion for the April 2015 regular meeting.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
2. Welfare Fraud Investigation and Prosecution. In September 2006, 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 has received
status reports on this referral in October 2008, June and October 2010, November 2011, November 2012 and, most
recently, in December 2013. The Committee has reviewed the transition of welfare fraud collections from the former
Office of Revenue Collection to the Employment and Human Services Department; the fraud caseload and
percentage of fraud findings; fraud prosecutions and the number of convictions; and the amounts recovered.
Page 79 of 85
As the PPC wishes to monitor performance of the welfare fraud program, it is recommended that this matter be
retained on referral.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
3. Multi-Language Capability of the Telephone Emergency Notification System. This matter had been on referral
to the IOC since 2000 and was reassigned to the PPC in January 2008. The PPC met with Sheriff and Health Services
Department staff in March 2008 to receive an update on the County’s efforts to implement multilingual emergency
telephone messaging. The Committee learned that the Federal Communications Commission has before it two
rulemaking proceedings that may directly affect practices and technology for multilingual alerting and public
notification. Additionally, the federally-funded Bay Area “Super Urban Area Safety Initiative” (SUASI) has selected
a contractor undertake an assessment and develop a five-year strategic plan on notification of public emergencies,
with an emphasis on special needs populations. The Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services reported to the PPC in
April 2009 that little has changed since the March 2008 report.
On October 18, 2010, the PPC received a report from the Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services on the Community
Warning and Telephone Emergency Notification systems, and on developments at the federal level that impact those
systems and related technology. Sheriff staff concluded that multi-lingual public emergency messaging is too
complex to be implemented at the local level and should be initiated at the state and federal levels. New federal
protocols are now being established to provide the framework within which the technological industries and local
agencies can work to develop these capabilities.
In 2011, the Office of the Sheriff has advised staff that a recent conference on emergency notification systems
unveiled nothing extraordinary in terms of language translation. The SUASI project had just commenced and Sheriff
staff have been on the contact list for a workgroup that will be developing a gap analysis, needs assessment, and
five-year strategic plan. This matter has been on committee referral for more than ten years and technology has yet to
provide a feasible solution for multilingual public emergency messaging.
On September 18, 2012, following the Richmond Chevron refinery fire, the Board of Supervisors established an ad
hoc committee to discuss the Community Warning System and Industrial Safety Ordinance. Since that committee is
ad hoc in nature, we recommend that this issue remain on referral to the PPC. The current draft work plan for CY
2015 has scheduled this discussion for the April 2015 regular meeting.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
4. County support and coordination of non-profit organization resources to provide prisoner re-entry services,
implementation of AB 109 Public Safety Realignment, and appointment recommendations to the Community
Corrections Partnership . On August 25, 2009, the Board of Supervisors referred to the PPC a presentation by the
Urban Strategies Council on how the County might support and coordinate County and local non-profit organization
resources to create a network of re-entry services for individuals who are leaving jail or prison and are re-integrating
in local communities. On September 14, 2009, the PPC invited the Sheriff-Coroner, County Probation Officer,
District Attorney, Public Defender, Health Services Director, and Employment and Human Services Director to hear
a presentation by the Urban Strategies Council. The PPC encouraged County departments to participate convene a
task force to work develop a network for prisoner re-entry services, which has been meeting independently from the
PPC.
The PPC received a status report from County departments in April 2010. The Employment and Human Services
department reported on its efforts to weave together a network of services, utilizing ARRA funding for the New Start
Program and on the role of One-Stop Centers in finding jobs for state parolees. Probation reported on the impacts of
the anticipated flood of state parolees into the county. The Sheriff reported on the costs for expanding local jail
capacity and possible expanded use of GPS (global positioning systems) use in monitoring state parolees released
back to our county. The Health Services Department reported on its Healthcare for the Homeless Program as a means
to get parolees into the healthcare system and on its development of cross-divisional teams on anti-violence. The
Public Defender reported on its Clean State Program, which has since been discontinued.
Page 80 of 85
Supervisors Glover and Gioia indicated that their staff would continue to coordinate this local initiative when the
Urban Strategies Council exhausts its grant funding from the California Endowment. The PPC continued to monitor
progress on the initiative and, on February 7, 2011, received a presentation of the completed strategic plan and
recommendations. In response to public testimony at the PPC meeting regarding concerns over the "Ban the Box"
element of the plan, the plan recommendations were modified to exclude from the "Ban the Box" requirement certain
identified sensitive positions in public safety and children’s services or as determined by the agency.
On March 22, 2011, representatives from the Urban Strategies Council presented the completed Contra Costa County
Re-entry Strategic Plan (100 pages), an Executive Summary (6 pages) of the plan, and a slide show to the Board of
Supervisors, which approved the strategic plan and implementation recommendations with one modification: rather
than adopt a 'Ban the Box' policy as recommended, which would have removed the question about criminal records
from county employment applications during the initial application, the Board agreed to consider adopting such a
policy at a future date. The Board directed the County Administrator to work with the offices of Supervisors Glover
and Gioia to identify the resources needed to implement the strategic plan and to report back to the Board with his
findings and recommendations.
Later in 2011, the California Legislature passed the Public Safety Realignment Act (Assembly Bills 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) takes effect October 1, 2011 and
realigns three major areas of the criminal justice system. On a prospective basis, the legislation:
• 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 the criminal justice realignment, which shall be deemed accepted by the Board
unless rejected by a 4/5th vote. The Executive Committee of the CCP is composed of the County Probation Officer
(Chair), Sheriff-Coroner, a Chief of Police (represented by the Concord Police Chief in 2014), District Attorney,
Public Defender, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court or designee, and the Behavioral Health Director.
On October 4, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the CCP Realignment Implementation Plan, including
budget recommendations for fiscal year 2011/12. Throughout 2012, the PPC received regular status updated from
county staff on the implementation of public safety realignment, including recommendations from the CCP-Executive
Committee for 2012/13 budget planning. On January 15, 2013 the Board of Supervisors approved a 2012/13 budget
for continuing implementation of public safety realignment programming.
The Committee received several reentry/AB 109 related presentations and updates throughout 2014, including
program updates, review of the proposed fiscal year 2014/15 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment budget and made
appointment recommendations to the Board of Supervisors for the CY 2015 Community Corrections Partnership. In
addition, the Committee evaluated the feasibility of submitting a grant proposal for the 2014 Byrne Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG) released by the California Board of State and Community Corrections.
As public safety realignment is a work in progress and at the early stages of implementation, it is recommended that
this matter be referred to the 2015 PPC.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
5. Countywide 9-1-1 Wireless Capability. On December 14, 2010, the Board of Supervisors referred to the PPC a
letter from the Emergency Medical Care Committee regarding the transmission of 9-1-1 emergency calls from
Page 81 of 85
cellular phones to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Our Committee met with representatives
from the Office of the Sheriff on April 4 to discuss the status of establishing Sheriff's Dispatch as the PSAP for
county unincorporated area wireless emergency calls.
Sheriff Department staff advised that the County is not accepting wireless 9-1-1 calls at this time. Staff explained that
the GPS (global positioning system) technology exists to enable Sheriff's Dispatch to receive 9-1-1 system emergency
calls from cellular phones and to locate the emergency location within some degree of precision. However, due to
several years of tight budgets, Sheriff's Dispatch is not currently staffed at a level that is adequate to respond to the
call volume associated with the wireless 9-1-1 calls, which are currently routed to the appropriate PSAP by the
California Highway Patrol (CHP).
While our committee believes that transferring responsibility for handling wireless 9-1-1 calls from the CHP to
Sheriff's Dispatch would be more efficient and would improve response time, it is unlikely that the County will be in
a position, fiscally, to assume this responsibility in the next year. The PPC reported on April 12, 2011 to the Board of
Supervisors and requested the Office of the Sheriff to provide a status report to the PPC in the spring of 2012 to
advise if any outside funding becomes available to support such a transition of responsibility.
On April 2, 2012, the PPC (Supervisor Glover only; Supervisor Uilkema was absent) received a status report
prepared by the Office of the Sheriff on the process that has been initiated to make the partial or full transition of
9-1-1 dispatching from the CHP to the Sheriff a reality within funding constraints. The Sheriff reports that if fully
implemented, the call volume for Sheriff’s Dispatch is projected to nearly double (from 56,000 calls to about 100,000
calls annually). Since the County can expect no additional outside revenue or other resources to support the increased
call volume, the Sheriff is planning a phased implementation at a rate and call volume that current resources will
permit. The phased implementation beginning with smaller carriers will provide the necessary experience and
feedback to inform future implementation phases. New carriers will not be added unless the previous carrier can be
effectively managed.
On April 17, 2012, the PPC provided an update to the Board of Supervisors on this topic and recommended
continued monitoring of this referral. For this reason, we recommend referring to the 2015 PPC. For scheduling
purposes, the current draft work plan for CY 2015 has identified an update on this topic for discussion at the
September 2015 regular meeting should the Sheriff's Office find that there is a need to discuss the issue.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC but only schedule at the request of the Sheriff
6. Civil gang injunctions. This matter was referred to the PPC on May 12, 2011 at the request of the District
Attorney, who suggested under Public Comment at the April 4, 2011 PPC meeting that the Committee consider the
use of gang injunctions to help prevent gang violence. The District Attorney has advised committee staff that he is
currently focusing on implementing a Ceasefire Program with Richmond Police Department and has requested that
this referral be postponed until further notice. For scheduling purposes, the current draft work plan for CY 2015 has
identified an update on this topic for discussion at the June 2015 regular meeting should the District Attorney find
that there is a need to discuss the issue.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC, but schedule only upon the request of the District Attorney
7. Report on Emergency Gas Shut Off Valves for various structures in Unincorporated Contra Costa County.
On September 25, during a presentation on Emergency Preparedness within Contra Costa County, the Board of
Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee a report on the county Gas Shut-Off valve ordinance
(Ordinance Code § 718-8 et seq.). Originally, the former Building Inspection Department was responsible for
regulation related to the Ordinance, now the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) provides
oversight through its Building Inspection Division. On November 5, 2012, the Conservation and Development
Department provided a review of the program. The Committee requested additional information from staff at the
February 2013 regular meeting.
The Department returned to the Committee in February 2013 and presented the requested information. The
Committee accepted the staff report and recommended no further action. The implementation of the gas shut off
Page 82 of 85
valve ordinance continues to present issues. For this reason, we believe that this issue should remain on referral to the
PPC. The current draft work plan for CY 2015 has identified an update on this topic for discussion at the May 2015
regular meeting.
Recommendation: REFER TO 2015 PPC
8. Inmate Welfare Fund/Telecommunications/Visitation Issues. On July 16, 2013, the Board of Supervisors
referred a review of the Inmate Welfare Fund (IWF) and inmate visitation policies to the Public Protection
Committee for review. The Inmate Welfare Fund is authorized by Penal Code § 4025 for the “…benefit, education,
and welfare of the inmates confined within the jail.” The statute also mandates that an itemized accounting of IWF
expenditures must be submitted annually to the County Board of Supervisors.
The Sheriff's Office has made several reports to the Committee throughout 2013 and 2014 regarding funding of IWF
programs, visitation/communication policies and an upcoming RFP for inmate telecommunications services. There
continues to be discussion at the state and federal level that could curtail the collection of telephone commissions
individuals contacting inmates and wards housed in county adult and juvenile detention facilities normally pay,
which could potentially impact programming provided within the County's detention facilities. For this reason, we
recommend referring this issue to the 2015 PPC. For scheduling purposes, the current draft work plan for CY 2015
has identified an update on this topic for discussion at the May 2015 regular meeting.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
9. Alcoholic Beverage Commercial Activities Ordinance Review. In 2002, the Board of Supervisors adopted
Ordinance No. 2002-33, which established Chapter 82-38 of the County Ordinance Code. The Ordinance regulates
Alcoholic Beverage Sales Commercial Activities, which are locations where the retail sale of alcoholic beverages
occur. The ordinance requires land use permits for newly established Alcoholic Beverage Sales Commercial
Activities, confers Deemed Approved ("grandfathered") Status on existing Alcoholic Beverage Sales Commercial
Activities, and provides standards and an administrative hearing process to review violations of those standards, in
order to protect the general health and welfare of the residents of the County and to prevent nuisance activities where
alcoholic beverage sales occur. Since 2002, there have been additional alcoholic beverage products released and
marketed within the unincorporated area that could be contributing to nuisance activities, but are not included in the
County Ordinance Code.
On June 13, 2014, the Board of Supervisors referred to the PPC a review of the Ordinance to determine if relevant
changes can or need to be made in order to better regulate the sale of alcopops by liquor stores, as well as reviewing
the entire Ordinance to make any needed changes that would improve its overall effectiveness relating the sale of
alcohol in the unincorporated areas. A 4-phase work plan was approved by the Committee on June 23, 2014.
Following that meeting, DCD and Public Health department staff worked together on this project and ultimately
presented findings and recommendations related to the Ordinance at the October 27, 2014 PPC meeting. The
Committee approved the findings and recommendations and directed staff to forward to the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors received the report at the December 16, 2014 meeting and directed staff to return in
one-year to the full Board of Supervisors with an update. Since the Committee has completed its work on this issue
and the Board will be receiving an update directly, we recommend that the referral be discontinued to the PPC.
Recommendation: TERMINATE REFERRAL
10. Implementation of "Ban the Box" in Contra Costa County. On June 17, 2014, the Board of Supervisors made
a joint referral to the Public Protection Committee and the Internal Operations Committee to review the County's
implementation of Assembly Bill 218 (California Labor Code Sec. 432.9), colloquially referred to as "Ban the Box".
The Ban the Box bill was signed by Governor Brown on October 10, 2013 and became operative July 1, 2014. The
law prohibits state and local agencies from inquiring about criminal convictions during the employment application
process until the agency has determined that the applicant meets the minimum employment qualifications as stated in
any notice issued for the position.
On July 28, 2014, the PPC received a report from the Human Resources Department on recommended
Page 83 of 85
implementation policies and procedures for the County. The Committee provided direction to staff who returned to
the full Board of Supervisors on September 9, 2014. The Board of Supervisors approved staff recommendations for
implementation of "Ban the Box". For this reason, we are recommending that this referral be discontinued.
Recommendation: TERMINATE REFERRAL
11. Review of County Service Area (CSA) P-6 Zones. On June 2, 1987, the Board of Supervisors authorized the
County Administrator to develop a plan to fund additional Police Services in the unincorporated areas of Contra
Costa County. Subsequent to that decision, various Zones within the existing County Service Area P-6 were
authorized. According to the Ordinances, each July the Board of Supervisors shall determine the amount of taxes to
be levied upon the parcels in each Zone. That amount is, also according to the Ordinances, to be adjusted annually
based upon the consumer price index. As of July 2014, there are 116 authorized Zones in County Service Area P-6.
On October 7, 2014, the Board of Supervisors referred to the PPC a review of CSA P-6 zones. Since that time, staff
has been collecting data in preparation for an initial report to the Committee. For this reason, we recommend that this
referral be continued to the 2015 PPC.
Recommendation: REFER to the 2015 PPC
