SUBJECT: PLANNING PROCESS FOR PROPOSITION 86
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE County Administrator to develop a planning process to be implemented in
formulating recommendations for the use of potential Proposition 86 (County Correctional
Facility Capital Expenditure and Youth Facility Bond Act of 1988) funds in Contra Costa.
.County. The County Administrator will explore with the Board of Corrections and the
California Youth Authority the rules and regulations with respect to this Proposition.
The County Administrator will report back to the Board with recommendations. for a specific
plan and procedures.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no direct budgetary impact at this time. Developing a planning process will
enable Contra Costa County to ascertain what will be required to put the County in a
position to receive State funds under Proposition 86 if the County chooses to do so.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Proposition 86, passed by voters on November 8, 1988, authorizes a. bond issue of
$500,000,000 to provide funds for the construction, remodeling, replacement and deferred.
maintenance of county correctional facilities .and county juvenile facilities and to
provide funds to youth centers and youth shelters. Proposition 86 requires counties to
provide 25% matching funds.
The money is to be allocated as follows:
♦ $410 million for county adult facilities
♦ $65 million for county juvenile facilities.
♦ $25 million for youth centers and shelters
The Proposition does not include. specific county allocations. The process to develop an
allocation formula for the adult county jail funds will be similar Ito the process . under
Proposition 52. The County Supervisors Association of California (CSAC) will form a
committee, to develop allocation recommendations for the Legislature. Seven counties have
already been approved for allocations totaling $60 million (of the $410 million adult
county jail fund). ' These commitments originated from t P position 52 ocess.

November 29, 1988
The California Youth Authority (CYA) is also forming a committee of representatives from
CYA, county probation officers and CSAC to make allocation recommendations to the.
Legislature for the county juvenile facilities funds. A trailer bill containing specific
adult and juvenile allocations is tentatively scheduled for February or March, 1989.
Contra Costa County continues to experience serious overcrowding in the adult detention
system. The County's juvenile hall has been experiencing overcrowding since the fall of
1987.
In order to manage the adult and juvenile detention populations, it is important to
continue planning and explore the best potential uses of these funds in this County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
County will not be prepared to decide if an application should be made for Proposition 86
funds.
