RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5044 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $270,000 from Probation Programs (0308) to General Services - Fleet Operations (0063) for the purchase of three sprinter vans that will serve as mobile offices to allow Probation Department to provide comprehensive Pretrial services to the community.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in the Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) and reduces appropriations in Probation Programs (0308) by $270,000. The new vehicles will be from the SB129 Pretrial Release Program. 100% State; No County Match.

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 129, Budget Act of 2021 has allocated funding to provide every superior court in California with information and resources to support judicial officers in making pretrial release decisions that impose the least restrictive conditions to address public safety and return to court, and to implement appropriate monitoring practices and provision of services for released individuals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The funding is in two parts: One time implementation funds and Ongoing Funds. The Probation Department is using a portion of the one time funds to purchase three sprinter vans. Transportation continues to be a barrier for serve for Probation clients. The sprinter vans will allow for mobile Probation Offices in our community so that we can connect our clients with much needed services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Appropriations will not be properly allocated. The Probation Department will not be able to utilize a mobile service delivery model.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
