�Co �'
SUBJECT: Approve form and authorize execution of Work Alternative Program �'
Agreement for Placement of Workers
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(_S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve form to be used when entering into formal agreements between
County and Agencies wishing to receive labor from participants in the
Work Alternative Program.
2. Authorize Sheriff-Coroner or his designee to enter into these agreements
on behalf of the County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Work Alternative Program (W.A.P.) is organized and -operated under
authority of Section 4024.2 of the California Penal Code. Select persons
work off sentences by performing labor at many worksites throughout the
County. Agencies who operate these worksites and receive the benefit of
this labor must agree to accept certain liability for any injuries that may
be sustained by participants.
The attached document, "Agreement for Placement of Workers", has been
approved by Risk Management and County Counsel to be used as a model
when entering into these terms and conditions for placement of W.A.P. par-
ticipants at worksites and contains specific language to hold County harmless
against claims for injury or disability of participants.
Implementation of this agreement between County and agencies receiving workers
will result in reduced exposure of County to claims of W.A.P. participants.
The number of agencies receiving workers fluctuates throughout the year
as agencies needs change and weather patterns effect ability to perform work
outdoors. With this in mind, and as there is no direct financial impact associated
with this proposal, the Board is requested to authorize the Sheriff-Coroner
or his designee to enter into these agreements on behalf of County as the
need arises.
