Meeting Date:02/06/2023 Subject:FY 2023/24 CCP RECOMMENDED BUDGET Department:County Administrator Referral No.: N/A Referral Name: AB109 PUBLIC SAFETY REALIGNMENT  Presenter: Paul Reyes, Committee Staff Contact: Paul Reyes, 925-655-2049 Referral History: On October 14, 2022, budget instructions for the FY 2023/24 AB 109 budget were distributed to the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) subscriber list, including Committee members, staff and interested parties, requesting formal submission no later than November 9, 2022. This year’s budget submission process remains unchanged and continues to illustrate 1) the FY 2022/23 Budget, 2) the "baseline" budget (i.e. the cost of simply maintaining the current level of service in 2023/24 dollars), and 3) a "program modification" budget to reflect any proposed program additions or deletions for the upcoming year. All budget requests have been included in a detailed summary (Attachment A) and each individual request has been compiled and attached to this staff report (Attachment B). On November 18, 2022, the CCP held a workshop, giving departments and funded agencies an opportunity to present and discuss budget proposals. Subsequently, a final vote of the CCP-Executive Committee was held on December 2, 2022.  Referral Update: On December 2, 2022, the CCP-Executive Committee approved a Recommended Budget for fiscal year 2023/24 for consideration by the Public Protection Committee. A summary of the final Recommended Budget and all budget submissions are included in today's packet for references (Attachments A and B, respectively).  The Recommended CCP Budget being considered today, includes an additional budget augmentation totaling $1,060,000 for the Public Defender's Office. It was necessary for the County Administrator's Office to include this additional funding recommendations to address two Board actions taken in July and September 2022.  On July 26, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the addition of a net 3.5 FTE Deputy Public Defenders. Additional approprations were not provided as part of this action. After reviewing the available FY 2023/24 funding sources, the County Administrator is recommending to fund these positions though AB 109, totaling $880,000.  On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors discussed the Public Defender's Stand Together Contra Costa (STCC) program and its associated funding. During the Board discussion, it was noted by staff that 17% of the STCC cases were currently or previously justice-system involved and would be eligible for continued AB 109 funding. Addtionally, Board of Supervisor's directed staff to maintain the status quo program level for STCC for FY 2022/23. For FY 2023/24, it is recommended that 17% of the baseline program, totaling $180,000, be funded through AB 109 which is consistent with the proportion stated by the Public Defender during the September 13th Board meeting, with the remainder of the STCC program being funded through the Public Defender's existing General Fund allocation. Today's action is recommending the Public Protection Committee to approve the FY 2023/24 AB 109 budget totaling $37.3 million (see attachment A), including the supplemental recommendation of $1,060,000 from the County Administrator's Office for the Public Defender.  Page 8 of 166 Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): 1. REVIEW and APPROVE the fiscal year 2023/24 AB 109 budget proposal totaling $37.3 million as outlined in Attachment A, as recommended by the Community Corrections Partnership - Executive Committee and the County Administrator's Office. 2.

The FY 2023/24 budget represents an increase of 9.4% over the current year and is composed of $35.8 million in baseline budget requests and $1.5 million in program modifications.  Revenue/Funding The County is estimated to recieve $36.3 million; approximately $35.9 million in FY 2023/24 Base allocation funding and $340,000 in Growth funding. A moderate use of fund balance would not be necessary to fund the Community Corrections recommended budget.  Attachments Attachment A - FY 23/24 CCP Budget Recommnedation Attachment B - FY 23/24 Budget Requests Page 9 of 166 Attachment A 2022/23 ONGOING BASELINE PROG.

As the ORJ continues to grow into its new permanent home in the Probation department, it does so with a perspective of its work that has matured beyond its days as a pilot project and is regularly involved in matters that extend beyond AB 109. Nonetheless, the ORJ continues to prioritize partnerships that enhance reentry service delivery, program coordination, data collection, and overall understanding of the effectiveness of the County's local justice reform efforts. DEPARTMENT: Probation Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) FY 2023/24 Baseline Request As ORJ's office operations and administrative functions continue to be integrated within the Probation Department structure, it will retain the FY 2022/23 costs which include the following staffing pattern and operational expenditures unique from the rest of the Department: » ORJ Director - (1.0 FTE) » ORJ Deputy Director - (1.0 FTE) » Research and Evaluation Manger - (1.0 FTE) » ORJ Projects/Program Coordinator - (1.0 FTE) The ORJ's operational costs that will not be absorbed by the Probation department are expected to be allocated as follows: » $15,000 for office costs related to communication and supplies » $85,000 for licensing and other costs related to data collection, program evaluation, and data system management FY 2023/24 Program Modification Request The ORJ, under the leadership of the Probation Department, was most recently charged with leading the implemenation of a data-driven decisionmaking approach to service delivery with an emphasis on promoting evidence-based practices and program models that will enhance service quality and improve participant outcomes. Given the growing demands for program evaluation, contract monitoring, quality assurance and data analysis that are encompassed within this effort, ORJ is seeking additional staff (Program Coordinator (0.5 FTE) and Planner/Evaluator (0.5 FTE)) to further support full implementation. Additionally, with the hiring of new staff, ORJ is also seeking additional resources for staff development, training, and crendentialing, office space modification, as well as training funds to further embed evidence-based practices throughout the reentry service delivery system. This would include trainings made available to both contracted service provider staff and county agency representatives serving the AB 109 and broader reentry population.

Attachment B Page 26 of 166 Contra Costa Health Services AB109 Services Behavioral Health Division FY 2023-2024 OPERATING COSTS - $1,087,809 Recovery Residences (Sober Living Environment) Five beds are dedicated to AB109 clients who are homeless, have recently graduated from residential and outpatient SUD treatment programs at Uilkema House. Residents may stay for up to 11 months will receive a variety of self-sufficiency services, recovery support and as a result of the DMC- ODS may continue to receive outpatient services, if needed while residing at Uilkema House. In FY22-23, we added funds to Oxford Houses as an option for AB109 clients. Oxford Houses are resident-managed sober living environments for individuals in SU remission. Residential Treatment Residential SUD treatment will be provided for up to 250 clients with an estimated number of 15,000 bed days. These services will be provided in the community by Discovery House -a county operated program and through other SUD DMC certified Community-Based Organizations (CBO) under a contract with Behavioral Health’s Alcohol and Other Drug Services (AODS). With the implementation of the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS), AOD has experienced an increase on the number of clients. We have transitioned from 90-days length of stays to a client-centered treatment approach in alignment with the ASAM Criteria. Moreover, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) eliminated the restriction on the number of admissions to residential treatment per year. Because of the CalAIM changes, there has been further recognition that justice involved populations may require extra time in residential treatment and recovery residences. Outpatient Treatment Outpatient treatment will be available for up to 24 clients. Outpatient services will be provided through DMC certified community-based SUD providers under a contract with Behavioral Health’s AODS. In September 2022, AOD added Options for Recovery in the Concord area. Options is not yet a Drug Medi-Cal Certified Outpatient Clinic, they were added to expand availability of services for AB109 clients, following the closure of Center Point. Options for Recovery is an Alameda-based provider which specializes in justice involved population. The DMC Certification period which is done by the Department of Health Care Services may take up to a year. Outpatient services consist of individual and group counseling sessions and determined by the ASAM Criteria based on individual needs. Accordingly, the duration of treatment is driven by medical necessity rather than a fixed length of stay. Outpatient treatment accompanied by Recovery Residences, promote client self-sufficiency, health and recovery. Attachment B Page 27 of 166 Contra Costa Health Services AB109 Services Behavioral Health Division FY 2023-2024 Drug Medi-Cal Federal Financial Participation (FFP) While DMC allows counties to draw down Federal funding, a non-federal match is required. AB109 funding is used by AODS to cover the match for every AB109 client and criminal justice-involved client. Additionally, because DMC only covers treatment and excludes the cost for room and board at residential facilities, AB109 funds are used for each bed day. In 2019, approximately 95% of AB109 client referred to SUD treatment were Medi-Cal eligible. In 2020, we did a DMC data claim pull and due to various reasons, a large percentage of claims were disallowed. AB109 is used to cover the cost incurred by SU providers for services rendered for AB109 clients that were not approved. Similarly, AB109 funding supports non-DMC eligible (undocumented) criminal justice involved clients. While the number of admissions into residential treatment are no longer restricted, AB109 clients will still continue to receive extensions and additional admissions through AB109 funding. The figures used in this budget correspond to service utilization in FY20-21. Additionally, one of the many benefits of the DMC-ODS is that all Community Based Organizations (CBO) were able to renegotiate reimbursement rates, resulting in higher rates across modalities and already captured in FY19-20, there are no changes this year. Pharmacy/Lab Includes medication and lab fees for AB109 clients who are not covered by insurance. ISF Fee ISF is an annual fee for vehicle maintenance, insurance, and replacement. ISF charge will allow for replacement of the vehicle at the end of the vehicle life (90,000 miles) at no cost to the department. Occupancy Occupancy costs will provide office and meeting space for Forensic Services staff to meet with clients. Occupancy costs include rent and tenant improvements. It does not include other items such as utilities, telephone or data lines.

Request The Office of the Public Defender submits this request for $250,850 for 2.0 FTE Clean Slate Unit Legal Assistants to support the Contra Costa Public Defender Clean Slate Unit. 2. Need The Clean Slate Unit works to remove barriers that a prior conviction presents to employment, housing, public benefits, and family reunification by assisting individuals who have a criminal record in Contra Costa County. Extensive research has shown that removing a prior conviction from a person’s record fosters success with reentry by removing barriers to housing, benefits, employment, and education. The unit’s advocates prepare and file a high volume of petitions on behalf of eligible clients who are entitled to legal remedies including Expungement dismissal, Proposition 47 relief, Proposition 64 relief, 290 registration relief, certificate of rehabilitation, and juvenile record sealing. The unit also conducts robust community outreach and provides legal advice and education on the benefits of record clearance. The unit is currently leanly staffed with 2.0 FTE Legal Assistants and 0.5 FTE Deputy Public Defender funded by AB109. Since the passage of Prop 47 and due to our extensive community outreach and partnership with AB109 partners, we have seen a drastic increase in demand for Clean Slate relief. This demand has also remained high because of the enactment of new post-conviction reform over the last several years, including the passage of Prop 64 (cannabis legalization), SB 384 (lifetime sex registration relief), AB 1869 (elimination of criminal fees) and AB 2147 (relief for CDCR fire camp participants. We also expect a significant increase in expungement referrals based on the recent enactment of SB 1106, which eliminates outstanding restitution as a barrier to expungement relief. This new legislation will allow additional individuals to be eligible for immediate Clean Slate relief. Another factor leading to our high demand springs from our robust community outreach. In the last year, we have drawn approximately 1000 individuals to our countywide community Clean Slate events. The number of expungement petitions processed by our Clean Slate Unit has increased year over year. In 2020, we filed roughly 600 expungement petitions and in 2021, we filed more than 1,400 expungement petitions. We are on pace to file approximately 1400 expungement petitions this year as well. Demand for Clean Slate relief remains high and exceeds the current unit’s capacity to serve those who are eligible. Adding two Legal Assistants is necessary to ensure that we can assist those requesting Clean Slate relief without a lengthy delay and backlog. 3. Budget Employee Classification Salary and Benefits 2.0 Legal Assistants $125,425 (per FTE) TOTAL $250,850 Attachment B Page 38 of 166 Proposal for Public Defender Case Preparation Assistants Submitted to the Community Corrections Partnership by the Office of the Public Defender November 18, 2022 1. Request The Office of the Public Defender is requesting funding for 3.0 FTE Public Defender Case Preparation Assistants 1 to support attorneys in the Arraignment Court Early Representation Program (ACER) and Early Representation Program (EarlyRep) in each region of the County. 2. Need The attorneys in the ACER and Early Representation programs represent clients at the beginning of the legal process, either at arraignment on felony cases or pre-arraignment on misdemeanor cases, ensuring that they are able to connect them with legal services. In that capacity, these attorneys are frequently tasked with ensuring that case-related discovery is requested and received. In the last several years, there has been a substantial shift to electronic discovery, including body worn camera footage, cell phone extraction evidence, and a plethora of video evidence transmitted from a diverse array of electronic platforms. This sea change for our ACER and EarlyRep attorneys has led to an increase in the need for attorneys to engage in a variety of case preparation tasks that range from digital evidence downloading to reviewing evidence from a variety of electronic and digital sources. ACER and EarlyRep attorneys in each region of the county – central, west, and east – expend many hours engaged in assimilating electronic media, discovery downloads, and other non-attorney work to ensure that our office complies with our constitution duties to collect and review all evidence in each case. The addition of 3.0 FTE Case Preparation Assistants would allow ACER and EarlyRep attorneys to focus on legal tasks while the Case Preparation Assistants focus on obtaining and organizing the electronic discovery ensuring that attorneys can provide adequate representation to their clients. 3. Budget Employee Classification Salary and Benefits Case Preparation Assistant $84,930/FTE Total $254,790/3.0 FTE 1 Please note that the Public Defender Case Preparation Assistant Classification will need to be established by Human Resources prior to recruitment and hiring. This new classification will be largely based on the existing District Attorney Case Preparation Assistant classification but will be tailored to meet the needs of CCPD. Attachment B Page 39 of 166 Proposal for Public Defender Front-End Advocacy Team (FEAT) Submitted to the Community Corrections Partnership by the Office of the Public Defender November 18, 2022 Introduction When individuals are arrested, they are typically held in jail until their arraignment court date (the first time that individuals are before a judge). Unless individuals hire private attorneys, they are not represented until the day of their arraignment court date. This often leaves vulnerable individuals in custody for several days before meeting with a lawyer. The Contra Costa Public Defender’s Office (CCPD) proposes an innovative program to reduce pretrial incarceration by connecting those recently arrested with a legal advocacy team. This holistic, multi- disciplinary Front-End Advocacy Team (FEAT) will include an attorney, an investigator, a legal assistant, and clerical support. FEAT will allow individuals who cannot afford a private attorney to have access to legal representation, mitigation expertise, early investigation, and case management that connects them with community-based resources. This early intervention approach will reduce pretrial detention, increase stability for community members who are impacted by the criminal legal system, and will divert individuals away from the criminal system. The annual cost to fund the FEAT team will be $566,618. The Need for Front-End Advocacy CCPD is the front-line of defense for indigent persons who are arrested and jailed in Contra Costa County. Last year alone, 13,778 cases were referred to our office for legal representation. CCPD has moved toward a practice that focuses on holistic defense: an interdisciplinary model that looks beyond an individual’s immediate legal service needs and engages attorneys and non-lawyer specialists to assist with issues such as housing, mental health treatment, immigration, and public benefits. Holistic defense has been found to reduce jail populations, reduce future criminal legal system involvement, and to improve case outcomes and efficiency.1 A great need exists for holistic early advocacy for those in Contra Costa’s jails between the time of arrest and their first court date. Approximately 1076 individuals are booked into the local county jail each month.2 The vast majority of those individuals are being held pretrial and have not been convicted or sentenced.3 Individuals who have mental health issues or who are unhoused do not get released pretrial or remain in custody longer than they should because the court requires a comprehensive release plan before agreeing to release the client. The absence of multidisciplinary legal team support for those recently arrested impacts our office’s ability to quickly coordinate a robust release plan by the arraignment court date. Research shows that even a few days in custody can have a significant destabilizing effect for those living on the margins and can result in a loss of employment and housing, mental health decompensation, and other serious issues.4 1 Dottie Carmichael, Nicholas Davis, Heather Caspers,& George Naufal, Indigent Defense Spending and Cost Containment in Texas. Public Policy Research Institute, Texas A&M University (2018). 2 Monthly average jail bookings according to CCSO data for 2021. 3 On July 7, 2020, the 88.5% of the County Jail population pretrial or unsentenced according to CCSO data. 4 Subramanian, R. et. al. Incarceration’s Front Door: The Misuse of Jails in America. Vera Institute of Justice, (February 2015). Attachment B Page 40 of 166 Arrested individuals are often held in jail for 3-5 days until their initial arraignment. At arraignment, the court decides whether an individual should be held in custody or released while their case is pending. Our office currently first provides representation for individuals starting on the day of their arraignment court date in felony cases. The time between arrest and the first court date is a critical phase. During this critical period, law enforcement continues their investigations and the District Attorney’s office reviews the cases for filing, while individuals wait in custody without access to legal counsel or other resources. Wealth disparities hugely impact access to attorneys and other resources during this critical period. Ordinarily, the 80-90% of arrestees who cannot afford to hire their own attorney wait up to 5 days until their first court date to speak with an attorney, while those who can afford to hire their own counsel have immediate access to an attorney and other resources. To address this gap in services, the Public Defender’s Office proposes an innovative pilot program to reduce pretrial incarceration by connecting recently arrested individuals with a legal advocacy team. This multi-disciplinary advocacy team will include an attorney, an investigator, a legal assistant, and clerical support. This team will provide front end access to legal representation, mitigation expertise, early investigation, and case management starting at the time of arrest and booking in county jail. This approach will reduce pre-trial incarceration, increase connection to community-based resources, and increase stability for community members who are impacted by the criminal legal system. Front-End Advocacy Team Members Attorney Provides direct legal representation, prepares for bail and release hearings, connects with family members and support persons to explain the legal process. Investigator Conducts critical front-end investigation to gather mitigation information and supporting documentation, including contacting family members and support persons. Also, ensures investigation is conducted in an efficient manner. Legal Assistant Conduct intake interviews at the jail, identifying areas of need for the client, and providing connection to housing resources, treatment programs, and mental health resources. Clerical Acquire and organize records and case files, locate and review documents, and provide administrative support to the advocacy team. Early Advocacy Works In recent years, our office has launched innovative grant-funded programs designed to expand early access to attorneys for out of custody misdemeanor clients. These efforts have greatly reduced the number of persons who end up in jail due to a missed court date. In 2016, we launched the Early Representation Program (EarlyRep) to help provide legal representation from the moment of law enforcement contact in misdemeanor cases. EarlyRep has been very successful at lowering the rate of failure to appear in court, reducing bench warrants, and providing legal assistance beyond traditional public defense. In 2020, we launched the Holistic Intervention Partnership (HIP), a public-private partnership that adds a substantial layer of support for our out of custody misdemeanor clients through partnerships with housing, civil legal, and reentry service providers. Providing early access to counsel and front-end advocacy support for the indigent in our jails has proven very effective at reducing pretrial incarceration in other jurisdictions. For example, in 2017, San Francisco Public Defender’s Office launched a Pre-Trial Release Unit to provide legal advice and Attachment B Page 41 of 166 advocacy to arrestees between booking and arraignment. This pilot program was found to have saved nearly a million dollars of taxpayer money and thousands of jail beds during its first five months of operation.5 Having pre-arraignment representation doubled the likelihood of release at arraignment, and substantially reduced the time that arrestees on parole were in custody pretrial. Early advocacy directly addresses racial and ethnic disparities which are prevalent at the pretrial incarceration phase. Individuals are often held in pretrial confinement due to an inability to pay money bail required for release. In Contra Costa County, as in much of the nation, there are higher arrest and pretrial detention rates for Black and Latino individuals. Black Contra Costa residents are held in pretrial detention at 7 times the rate of White residents and Latino residents are held in pretrial detention at 2.5 times the rate of Whites.6 Impact on Persons with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders Providing pre-arraignment advocacy teams will directly address the crisis of mentally ill individuals in our local jails by connecting them with mental health resources to provide crisis stabilization. Front-end advocacy will ensure the early diversion of persons with mental health related cases away from the county jails and out of our criminal legal system by allowing for an expedited filing of Mental Health Diversion petitions for those who are in custody. Contra Costa County has committed to addressing the high rates of mental illness among individuals incarcerated locally by joining the Stepping Up Initiative. The Stepping Up Initiative has explored the problem of mentally ill individuals in our county jails and frames it as follows: “Approximately 2 million times each year, people who have serious mental illnesses are admitted to jails across the nation. Almost three-quarters of these adults also have drug and alcohol use problems. Once incarcerated, individuals with mental illnesses tend to stay longer in jail and upon release are at a higher risk of returning to incarceration than those without these illnesses. The human toll of this problem—and its cost to taxpayers—is staggering. Jails spend two to three times more money on adults with mental illnesses that require intervention than on those without those needs, yet often do not see improvements to public safety or these individuals’ health. Although counties have made tremendous efforts to address this problem, they are often thwarted by significant obstacles, including operating with minimal resources and needing better coordination between criminal justice, mental health, substance use treatment, and other agencies. Without change, large numbers of people with mental illnesses will continue to cycle through the criminal justice system, often resulting in tragic outcomes for these individuals 5 An Analysis of the San Francisco Public Defender’s Pre-Trial Release Unit, June 2018, Alena Yarmosky, http://public.sfpdr.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/The-Impact-of-Early-Representation-PRU- Evaluation-Final-Report-5.11.18.pdf, and California Policy Lab Policy Brief, June 2018, Alena Yarmosky, https://www.capolicylab.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Policy-Brief-Early-Representation-Alena-Yarmosky.pdf. 6 Racial Justice Task Force – Final Report and Recommendations to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, June 2018, at page 7. Attachment B Page 42 of 166 and their families, missed opportunities for connections to treatment, inefficient use of funding, and a failure to improve public safety.” 7 According to detention mental health reporting, roughly 50% of individuals incarcerated in Contra Costa County are living with mental health challenges and/or substance use disorders. Indeed, many of those in our jails are in custody due to a mental health break or a substance use disorder. Our front-end advocacy teams will work to connect these persons with treatment options and locate placements in substance use disorder or dual diagnosis programs. Our team coordinates transportation to program upon release and support transitions from the jail to the community. Conclusion An investment in front-end, holistic advocacy for newly incarcerated persons with felony charges will enhance public safety by fostering a connection to services and community support for those entering the criminal legal system. The focus on a holistic approach can greatly improve the chances that an individual will come out of the process with the hope of permanently avoiding a return to custody. The population supported by FEAT are vulnerable members of our community, are disproportionally persons of color, are often persons living in poverty, and those living with behavioral health challenges. This pilot has the potential to transform our approach to legal advocacy in Contra Costa County.

Neighborhood Restorative Partnership (NRP) In an effort to offer smart and safe alternatives for low level non-violent misdemeanors, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office has implemented the Neighborhood Restorative Partnership (NRP). In lieu of filing criminal charges, this community based pre-charging diversion program utilizes a restorative justice lens to resolve low-level misdemeanors and quality of life crimes. The NRP engagement reaches east, central and west Contra Costa County. Modeled after a similar District Attorney lead program, panelist – comprised primarily of residents who live and work in the community where the incident occurred – hear the case and create plans that enable the participant to address harms caused to the community and parties affected by the incident. This program reduces the number of cases making their way through the criminal justice system, saving both time and money for the courts and impacted county agencies. By keeping low-level non-violent offenders out of the criminal justice system, and keeping convictions off their record, this program will aid in preventing obstacles to obtaining employment, education, housing, and meaningful participation in the community. ACER Attorneys These attorneys staff the Superior Court’s in-custody arraignment courts and their early disposition calendars.

DEPARTMENT: Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County FY 2023/24 Baseline Request The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) is seeking status quo level funding of $207,339 for the fiscal year 2023- 2024. The budget reflects the amount of time key staff will devote to AB109 in order to continue to provide linkages to the One-Stop/AJCC system, business engagement, and small business and entrepreneurship connections. Although we are no longer hosting the SBDC, we are committed to collaborating with small businesses development organizations and training opportunities to provide entrepreneurial support to the AB109 and broader reentry community. In accordance with the WDBCCC's original submittal, we will use AB109 funds to leverage other funding in an effort to increase our capacity to provide services to previously incarcerated individuals. FY 2023/24 Program Modification Request The Workforce Development Board is not seeking increased funding at this time. The WDB is committed to partnering with the CCP and other agencies/organizations working in this space, with a goal of pursuing and securing additional resources that can further support, align, and leverage related work to serve AB109 participants and concurrently expand efforts to serve other justice involved populations that are returning to communities in Contra Costa County and help them with employment and training needs.

Investments in the community programs included in CAB's budget have not only emerged as essential elements of the County's reentry system, but the programs that they fund have become beacons of hope and opportunity for the County residents that participate in these programs. Furthermore, the County's support of the programs and initiatives included in the CAB Budget have paved the way for the development of innovative approaches to improving public safety (Reentry Success Center and Reentry Network), communication to stakeholders regarding the County's reentry efforts (seasonal VOICE newsletter), and information sharing and tracking among partners (Salesforce based data system). For FY 2023/24, CAB submits a largely status quo budget to the County for approval with the inclusion of a 5% COLA increase for all programs. Department: Community Advisory Board (CAB) - AB 109 Community Programs FY 2023/24 Baseline Request In FY 2021/22, the ORJ put each of the contracts for the community programs out for public bidding, except the Reentry Success Center (Center) contract. The Center's contract was later extended to expire within the same sequence of all other Community Program contracts. In FY 2019/20 the ORJ executed three-year contracts for the first time with each of agencies selected through the County's competitive bidding process, and these contracts expired at the end of FY 2021/22. ORJ issued a second competitive bidding process for the community programs in order to issue a subsequent three-year contract cycle for the period of FY 2022/23 - FY 2024/25.

DEPARTMENT: Superior Court FY 2023/24 Baseline Request The Contra Costa Superior Court respectfully requests one-time funding from the County’s FY 2023-2024 AB 109 allocation in the amount of $219.887. The funding continues to address the extra workload associated with PRCS cases, parole violation petitions, and the Pretrial Release Program by funding two dedicated courtroom clerks whose sole focus is on capturing court proceedings, and entering the appropriate case information timely. The Court calendars many cases involving the supervision of “non-non-non” offenders. This workload continues to exceed that which could reasonably be handled by a single courtroom clerk. In response, the court allocated a second clerk to each of the high volume calendars at all times. The additional clerk serves as a primary resource for the Judge, Justice Partners and the Attorneys in answering questions and receiving paperwork. The second clerk also preps calendars, answers incoming phone calls, responds to faxes and enters data in case management while the primary clerk records matters on the record. The two clerk team works together in departments creating a more efficient process for each case. FY 2023/24 Program Modification Request Attachment B Page 54 of 166 PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 5.

I have been a home owner and tax payer in Contra Costa County since May 2002 and have a vested interest in ensuring the funds raised from this sales tax are allocated in a manner consistent with reimagining public safety and improving health outcomes for all. I have a keen understanding of how appropriately utilizing these new financial resources, through cost effective methods with community input can result in a better quality of life that could allow for more economic opportunities for all residents. I understand that when services and programs are not made available where they are most needed it results in greater cost down the line for all. I think we have an obligation to wisely use these additional dollars to address long standing inequities that put a drain on our system. I want to work with individuals who love this county as much as I do to create a county that meets the needs of all by prioritizing and redefining safety while promoting community and belonging for all citizens. I want to share my ideas around key resources and community defined practices we can use to promote and utilize to promote equity and reduce the glaring disparities we see in the criminal justice system. My over 30 years in the mental health field equips me with the skills and knowledge needed to approach challenges using an appreciative inquiry, strength based, and solutions focused application.

I am a person of color and a resident of Contra Costa County who is a first-hand witness to the racial and ethnic disparities within the local criminal justice system. As an African American youth growing up in the projects of Oakland, I personally witnessed and experienced the harsh and unequal treatment of Blacks by law enforcement and the criminal justice system. It was these disparities in the criminal justice system that made me want to be a lawyer so I can help make a difference in my community. I have experienced both sides of the criminal justice system, as a criminal defendant and as a criminal defense attorney. I believe that this gives me a unique perspective on the criminal justice system. As our country has reached a boiling point with race and the injustices of the criminal system, I am compelled to do my part to make a difference in my community. I am committed to doing everything in my power to be a part of the solution to these issues, and I believe that being on this board/commission I can make a difference in my local community.

I currently serve as the Director of Programs at a statewide non-profit that bolsters community based program by providing access to basic material needs for vulnerable populations.

I am a lifelong resident of North Richmond, CA. My father, Boaston Woodson, was the owner of one of the neighborhood grocery stores. (The family still owns and leases it.) As an African American mother of five children, which includes two sons, I have always been concerned with racial inequality in the community, in the schools, and in the work force. Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of your resume with this application) Currently I am a steward at Resurrection African Methodist Episcopal Church as well as its Women's Missionary Society president. In conjunction with one of our sister churches, Bethel A.M.E. Church, we recently completed the Anvil House, a reentry program located in Richmond. My sons are in their 40's now and live out of state, but during their youth they were unfortunately involved in the criminal justice system. I also had two brothers that were incarcerated (both deceased), so I've had experience navigating the system. My motivation is to recognize the disparities in the justice systems and help to implement recommendations for change.
