Referral History:
On December 7, 2018, the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) met to consider approving the FY 19/20 AB 109 budget. During that meeting, it was noted that the Public Defender's budget request included a request for FY 18/19 funding for the West County Early Representation Program (EarlyRep, as known as the Failure to Appear Reduction Program). Since the December 7, 2018 CCP meeting was not publicly noticed to consider FY 18/19 AB 109 funding, the CCP did not consider approving this funding request. The CCP did fully approve the FY 19/20 funding request for West County EarlyRep. A copy of the original AB 109 funding request and proposal memo have been attached.
Referral Update:
The West County EarlyRep program began as a partnership with the Richmond Police Department in February 2017 and has been funded by a U.S. Department of Justice grant, which will lapse in March 2019. The bridge funding request of $43,858 will fund salary and benefit costs for April to June 2019.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
APPROVE the fiscal year 2018/2019 AB 109 funding for the Public Defender's West County EarlyRep program in the amount of $43,858.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
If approved, this action will increase FY 18/19 AB 109 apppropriations by $43,858, or 0.1%, to $29,429,817.
