RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21802 to add two (2) Deputy Probation Officer III (7ATA) (represented) positions at Salary Plan and Grade PP5 1574 ($5,207 - $6,329), add one (1) Probation Supervisor I (7AHA) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade PK5 1712 ($6,363 - $7,734) and add one (1) Clerk Specialist (JWXD) (represented) position at Salary Plan and Grade 3RX 1156 ($3,487 - $4,453) in the Probation Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this personnel action will have an annual cost of approximately $636,598. 100% SB678 State Revenue.

BACKGROUND:

In 2009, in an effort to reduce prison populations, the legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 678, the Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act (CCPIA), which provided funding to County Probation Departments to implement evidence-based practices for the Adult Probation population. In 2011, the legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 109 which transferred responsibility for supervising specific low-level inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. These two pieces of legislation began the largest criminal justice realignment in the history of the State of California. The department's share of AB109 revenue has not increased over the last few years while the County's needs have increased. Probation has saved a portion of its SB678 revenue over the last few years. Rather than request an increase in the AB109 allocation from the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) to fund positions needed to address the needs of returning citizens, the Probation Department will use SB678 to cover these positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Probation Department will not be able to adequately meet the needs of citizens returning to Contra Costa County from State prison.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
