RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5013 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $106,000 from Plant Acquisition-Sheriff Coroner (0111) to Sheriff Detention (0300) for the purchase and installation of flooring for the Martinez Detention Facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases appropriations in Sheriff Detention (0300) and decreases appropriations in Plant Acquisition-Sheriff Coroner (0111) by $106,000. No Net County Cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Martinez Detention Facility opened in 1981 and remains the sole point of intake for all persons incarcerated in Contra Costa County. The main hallway that leads from the intake booking area up to the general population housing units is covered in carpeting that has not been replaced in over 15 years. This hallway is a heavy traffic area and the carpet is very well worn. The current carpet requires frequent cleaning and due to its condition, the carpet cannot be completely cleaned and sanitized without significant staff time. Removing the existing carpet and replacing with modern floor covering will significantly reduce staff time for cleaning and maintenance, along with improving conditions for all who pass through this busy area of the jail.
