On February 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Sheriff-Coroner to submit a funding application to the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) as part of the SB 844 Jail Construction financing program to seek a $70 million funding allocation for the construction of the West Contra Costa County Reentry, Treatment, and Housing Facility project.
On May 17, 2017, an Executive Steering Committee of the BSCC made a conditional award of SB 844 funds to Contra Costa County in the amount of $70 million and recommended funding approval to the BSCC at a future meeting date.
On June 8, 2017, the BSCC convened and approved the recommendation of the Executive Steering Committee to award Contra Costa County the full $70 million funding award.
Today's action appropriates County funds to satisfy the hard match previously identified by the Board in Resolution No. 2017/44 and integrated into the County's funded SB 844 application.
The matching funds previously identified by the Board of Supervisors in Resolution No. 2017/44 will not be appropriated in fiscal year 2017/18.
