RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Chief Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Cyan Industries LLC in an amount not to exceed $138,500 to perform coordination services for the County’s reentry process for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$138,500, 100% State AB109 Public Safety Realignment Funding.

BACKGROUND:

As part of the 2011/12 budget plan, the State Legislature enacted a realignment of some offenders and adult parolees from state to local jurisdiction. These lower-level offenders were placed on community supervision at the county level and supervised by the County’s Probation Department. The Board of Supervisors approved the County’s Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) 2011/12 Plan on October 4, 2011 at which time the Probation Department began the process of hiring a contractor to coordinate the County’s Reentry Strategic Plan for the CCP. After two years, the Probation department decided to conduct a formal RFP process for this position. On May 1, 2014 the Probation Department released the RFQ for reentry services to the public. A Review Panel consisting of the Chief Probation Officer, the Director of Behavioral Health Services, and the City of Concord Police Chief reviewed all applications and interviewed all qualified candidates. Two candidates were selected to participate in a further interview. The Chief Probation Officer, Assistant Chief Probation Officer and Senior Deputy County Administrator Lara Delaney participated. At the conclusion of this process Donte Blue was selected as the Probation Department's new Reentry Coordinator. Mr. Blue has done an excellent job in this role and the Probation Department has decided to renew his contract for another year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County's Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) will have to function without a Reentry Coordinator, making it difficult to support inter-organizational coordination.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
