Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Receive and accept an update on the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 for a total of $12,290,191, as approved by the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)'s Executive Comittee.
SUMMARY:
The Probation Department serves as lead agency and fiscal agent for the implementation of the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment. In this role, Probation is requesting the Budget Committee's support of the recommended AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for FY 2013-14, for a total of $12,290,191 as approved on April 25, 2013 by the CCP's Executive Committee.
DISCUSSION:
The recommended budget totaling $12,290,191 includes Monterey's state allocation for FY 2013-14 in the amount of $9,399,649 plus unspent current year funding estimated at $2,890,542. This positive balance is rolled over from the prior year, thanks to a prudent phased approach (gradually incrementing services upon the release of offenders to local authority), the conservative fiscal management of available resources, and the need for a contingency reserve for custody beds, as necessary.
The total $12,290,191 will be shared between the Health Department, Department of Social Services (DSS), the Economic Development's Office for Employment Training (OET), Probation, Sheriff's Office and District Attorney to continue the implementation of the core strategies identified by the plan: custody, alternatives to custody, community supervision, and treatment and rehabilitation. Below is the allocation breakdown of services; a total of 8.0 FTE positions will be recommended for inclusion in FY 13-14.
