FROM: Phil Batchelor C tra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: June 20, 1988 CO "7
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 2325 (Garamendi)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for SB 2325 by Senator Garamendi
which would authorize the County to use prisoners to perform work
on levees.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, the. Board of Supervisors can authorize the
Sheriff to offer a program under which a person committed to a
county correctional facility performs labor in lieu of
confinement. SB 2325 would expand this authorization to
specifically include labor on levees.
The Sheriff points out that the levee system in the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is fragile and in almost constant
need of attention. It is the Sheriff' s belief that the potential.
labor force resulting from the passage of SBj 2325 could do much
to maintain and eventually improve the condi ton of those levees.
The Sheriff recommends that the Board support SB 2325 and this
office concurs in that recommendation.
