RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5033 authorizing the transfer of $105,000 from Probation Programs to Public Works Fleet for the purchase of three (3) vehicles that will be utilized to enhance community outreach and monitoring of the Pretrial services population.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in the Public Works Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) by $105,000, and reduces appropriations in Probation Programs (0308) by that amount. The new vehicles will be funded by the SB129 Pretrial Release Program.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 129 allocated funding to every Superior Court in California to support judicial officers in making pretrial release decisions that impose the least restrictive conditions to address public safety, and to implement appropriate monitoring practices and provides services for released individuals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The funding received includes one time funding and on going funding. The Probation Department is using a portion of the one time funds to purchase three vehicles. The vehicles will allow staff assigned in the Pretrial Unit to monitor and connect clients with much needed services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, appropriations will not be properly allocated. Additionally the Probation Department Pretrial Unit would be restricted in their ability to respond to the needs of our Pretrial population.
