SUBJECT: CRIMINAL JUSTICE ADMINISTRATIVE (BOOKING) FEE -AUTHORIT EGOTIATE ---
------------------
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or designee to negotiate fees upon the request of
affected agencies, pursuant to Government Code section 29550.
BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 1991, the Board adopted an ordinance establishing a criminal justice
administrative (booking) fee as authorized by Chapter 29550 of the Government Code.
Government Code section 29550 has been amended several times since it took effect in
January, 1991. It was recently amended by Statutes of 1995, Chapter 910 (AB 82-Pringle),
which requires that any increase in the jail booking fee be adopted prior to the beginning of
the fiscal year in which it will take effect and requires a 45-day written notice of a public
hearing. The amendment also stipulates that the County shall negotiate a reduced fee with
any arresting agency for any services performed by that agency that do not have to be
duplicated by the County.
On March 19, 1996 the Board fixed a public hearing to be conducted at its regular meeting
on Tuesday, May 14, 1996 to consider a proposed increase to the jail booking fee. The
County Administrator requests the authority to negotiate jail booking fees with arresting
agencies pursuant to Government Code section 29550, as amended.
