RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Fiscal Year 2023-24 Appropriation Adjustment No. BDA-23-00231 authorizing appropriations in the amount of $225,941 to fund three Probation Community Associate - Project positions, which are requested in the Personnel Actions section of this Board's agenda.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In compliance with the County position adjustment requests, the department is requesting to appropriate $225,941 Probation entitlement dollars provided by the State Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act (SB678 funds) to offset the cost of the additional three positions.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Probation Department is looking to invest in the community and employ three individuals who have been system involved. We believe this commitment to those with lived experience along with the financial stability of County employment is crucial in identifying people looking to further the work and the mission of both Contra Costa County and the Probation Department. Working alongside members of our community in providing support and navigation services to those at risk of becoming system involved, those already system involved, or those transitioning from the system will lead to better service delivery and positive outcomes for the community as a whole. Therefore, Probation has created a new classification; Probation Community Associate. This appropriation adjustment allocates funding for these new positions in the budget.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved appropriations would not be properly allocated for the requested positions.
