On October 1, 2021, budget instructions for the FY 2022/23 AB 109 budget were distributed to the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) subscriber list, including Committee members, staff and interested parties, requesting formal submission no later than October 29, 2021. This year’s budget submission process remains unchanged and continues to illustrate 1) the FY 2021/22 Budget, 2) the "baseline" budget (i.e. the cost of simply maintaining the current level of service in 2022/23 dollars), and 3) a "program modification" budget to reflect any proposed program additions or deletions for the upcoming year. All budget requests have been included in a detailed summary (Attachment A) and each individual request has been compiled and attached to this staff report (Attachment B).

On November 12, 2021, the CCP held a workshop, giving departments and funded agencies an opportunity to present and discuss budget proposals. Subsequently, a final vote of the CCP-Executive Committee was held on December 3, 2021. The budget approved by the CCP has been submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval at today's meeting.
