RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors Budget Committee:
a. Support authorizing the Auditor-Controller to increase appropriations and revenues in the Sheriff’s FY2025-2026 Adopted Budget; and
b. Support authorizing the Auditor-Controller to amend the Sheriff-Coroner’s FY2025-2026 Adopted Budget; and
c. Support the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, to execute an agreement with Cornerstone Detention Products, Inc., to meet the programming code standardization, supported hardware, and security requirements for the control system at both the New and Old Jail which manages intercoms, doors, cameras, and system control communications. This upgrade aligns with the FBI CJIS Security Policy 5.9.4, ensuring compliance with supported operating systems. The total cost for the upgrade is $384,675.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) mandates security systems for public safety have a supported operating system and hardware. To meet this requirement, the Cornerstone Detention System requires Windows 10 workstations be upgraded to Windows 11and be deployed on supported hardware/software. The Sheriff’s Office began working with the CAO’s Office in February 2025 to identify funding to address this need. Direction from CAO’s Office was to include in the budget. The Sheriff’s Office requested augmentation funding for this project during the FY25-26 budget development process, but the request was not approved. The Sheriff’s Office will need to absorb the costs of this project if this augmentation request is not approved by the BOS.
Facilities was consulted and advised this project did not need to be presented to CIC since it dealt with desktops, programming and software.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) request support to execute an agreement for the replacement of the (13) existing New and Old Jail control workstations. The proposed project would replace (13) workstations, configured and integrated new workstations with the existing cornerstone control system which manages intercoms, camera’s, video capturing, door operations and general system communications.
This change would require the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to be rewritten to communicate with the existing PLC processors and relays for required functionality for Windows 11. This change is in alignment with the FBI CJIS Security Policy 5.9.4 which requires event logging, supported operating systems and security.
Cornerstone proposes to provide new workstation computers for detention controls, with a new wonderware application, written to match the style of the old jail controls, and re-write the PLC program.
