Rainey; Sheriff-Coroner Costa Count DATE: October 9, 1991 SUBJECT: Electronic Home Detention Program: Revision of Fees and County. Parole SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner to establish program fees pursuant to Penal Code Section 1208.2 (new section applicable to County Parole and Electronic Home Detention fees.) . Increase preexisting fees paid by each applicant/participant in the County Parole and Electronic Home Detention programs as follows: Interview/Application fee of $50. 00 plus $7. 00 (minimum) for each day served in the program, based upon his or her ability to pay. II : FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval will result in additional revenue to the Electronic Home Detention ( less than two years old) and County -Parole programs. During fiscal year 90-91, these programs produced $195,0001 in combined revenues. This represents 670 of the $289, 000 combined operational costs. Increased fees will allow these programs to produce additional revenues necessary for offsetting operational costs to the County. The amount of additional revenues that will be generated. is unpredictable at this time. In any event, it is anticipated that they should be several thousand dollars. III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Electronic Home Detention and. County Parole have experienced substantial. growth in the number of inmate participants and court referrals. The closure of the Work Furlough Facility has and will continue to impact upon continued growth. Programs have necessarily increased staffing and office space. The increase in staffing, coupled with the continual growth of the programs, requires additional funds to offset the cost of salaries, equipment, lease of additional office space and maintenance of existing budgetary needs.

Re: County Parole and Electronic Home Detention Fees Increase i IV. BACKGROUND: i i In 1989, the Board. of. Supervisors, by Board Order (Resolution. No. 83/361) established the Electronic Home Detention Programlpursuant to the authority granted the Board of Supervisors in Penal Code Section 1203. 016. The fees were set to match that of the other constructive custody programs operated by the Sheriff-Coroner. Since 1987 and prior to the enactment. of Penal Code Section 1208.2, County Parole fees were collected pursuant to Order of the County' s presiding court and, as established by statute. A request for an increase in fees in other programs, coinci es. with this Board Order to maintain a stable fee schedule. The programs fees are currently $40.00 application fee and $5.00 (minimum) 'for each. day served in the program. i V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Budgetary needs for the operation of the Electronic Home Detention and County Parole programs for fiscal year 1991-1992 will exceed those of the previous year. Increased numbers on the program will provide for some of the needed increase in revenues but, not all. If this proposal is not approved., the ability to generate the. additional. revenues will be lost. Fees charged will remain at the same rate and the percentage of program cost paid for' by the county for these valuable programs will increase. i i I c 1k7 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORSSE..L._ Contra FROM: Costa Richard K. Rainey, Sheriff-Coroner County DATE: October 9, 1991 SUBJECT: Work Alternative Program: Revision of Fees SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I . RECOMMENDED ACTION: I Approve and authorize the Sheriff-Coroner to increase fees. paid by every person accepted as a participant in the Work Alternative Program as follows: j Interview/Application fee of $50. 0,0 plus, $7. 00 for each day of work to be scheduled, based on his or her ability to pay. ! II . FINANCIAL IMPACT: Authorization will enable. the Work. Alternative Program to continue to operate with the pro rata cost of administration paid by each participant, based upon his or her ability to pay, with no program cost incurred by the County. III . REASONS FOR RECO14MENDATION: Since the incepti.on of. the Work Alternative Program (WAP) , there has been increased growth in the number of court referrals.The continuing growth of the program has necessitated increasing the program' s staff and office space. Increased staffing and program population levels have necessarily prompted the need for additional funds to offselt the cost of salaries, equipment, lease of additional office space and maintenance of existing budgetary needs. IV. BACKGROUND: In 1983, the Board of Supervisors, by Board Order (Resolution No. 83/361) established. the Work Alternative Program pursuant to the authority granted the Board of Supervisors in Penal Code Section 4024.2. The programs fees are currently $40. 00 app ' cation fee and $5. 00 for each day of work. r/fir CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: �ES SIGNATURE: ,, _ RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD CO MITTEE �IM�C APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE (S): ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE X UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN. cc: via Sheriff ATTESTED NOV 5 1991 PHIL BATCHELOR,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR M382 (10/88) BY DEPUTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONT.

Projections indicate that the Work Alternative Program can reasonably expect to complete 7,200 interviews and schedule 38 ,000 days of work.

RAINEY, SHERIFF-CORONER Costa g!,' Cou DATE: Nov 5 �` '` 191 ��'srd'c6uN� �Tv nty SUBJECT: In the Matter of Authorizing Sheriff-Coroner to Modify Fee Schedule SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION I. RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt the attached fee schedule effective July 1, 1991. 1 II. FINANCIAL IMPACT The requested modifications are minor adjustments that are expected to increase revenue by approximately $15,000 annually. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION This fee schedule was last modified by the Board on August 6, 1987. Since that time the cost of providing the service covered has increased. IV. BACKGROUND The Sheriff-Coroner's Department creates/maintains on file a great many incident reports, accident reports and other documents. Access to and copies of these records is requested by involved parties, insurance companies and crime victims. The Public Records Act generally requires that such records be made available and permits charging the direct cost of duplication or a statutory fee. The fee schedule recommended will more closely align revenue with actual costs and reflect cost of living increases since 1987. V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Negative action will cause revenue to remain at its current level which is less than the cost of providing the required services. i du CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: 1414; RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD C MMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S): NOV 1991 ACTION OF BOARD ON APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER i VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE x UNANIMOUS(ABSENT ) AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.
