RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute contracts, subject to final approval as to form by County Counsel, with the cities of Richmond, Concord, Pittsburg, and Antioch in an aggregate amount not to exceed $542,880 to provide AB 109 police services for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$542,880 in FY 2017/18 (100% State Public Safety Realignment)

BACKGROUND:

In 2011, the California Legislature passed the Public Safety Realignment Act (Assembly Bill 109), which transferred responsibility for supervising specific low-level inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to counties. This Act tasked local government at the county level with developing a new approach to reducing recidivism among this population. AB 109 took effect October 1, 2011 and realigned three major areas of the criminal justice system.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On a prospective basis, the legislation:

Transferred the location of incarceration for individuals convicted of lower-level specified non-violent, non-serious, non-sex offenses from state prison to local county jail pursuant to Penal Code 1170 (h) and provides for an expanded role for their post-release Mandatory Supervision;
Transferred responsibility from the State to the County for post-release supervision of those released from prison after having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS);
Transferred the housing responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail custody.

AB 109 also tasked the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) with recommending to the County Board of Supervisors a plan for implementing criminal justice realignment. The Board of Supervisors adopted the Contra Costa County Realignment Plan on October 4, 2011 (Agenda Item No. D.5), as recommended by the Executive Committee of the CCP. The Executive Committee of the CCP is composed of the County Probation Officer (Chair), Sheriff-Coroner, a Chief of Police (represented by the Richmond Police Chief), District Attorney, Public Defender, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court or designee (represented by the Court Director of Business Planning, Information and Programs), and County Behavioral Health Director.

For fiscal year 2017/18, the CCP-Executive Committee approved the 2017/18 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment budget at the January 13, 2017 regular meeting and submitted to the Public Protection Committee for review and approval. On February 6, 2017, the Public Protection Committee approved the 2017/18 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment budget. On May 9, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Recommended Budget for Contra Costa County for FY 2017/18, including the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment budget.

Today's action approves and authorizes contracts with cities of Richmond, Concord, Pittsburg, and Antioch for AB 109 police services, in the aggregate amount of $542,880 for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board of Supervisors does not approve and authorize the contracts, the contracts will not be effectuated
