SUMMARY
The Sheriff requests re-approval of Board Agreement A-12460 with the County of Alameda for housing of inmates at the Santa Rita Jail.
DISCUSSION
Your Board originally approved Agreement A-12460 with the County of Alameda for housing of inmates at the Santa Rita Jail. At that time, the Monterey County Jail was at approximately 130% of its rated capacity of 824 inmates. The Board chose to exercise an option made available under Senate Bill 1021, which allowed counties where adequate jail facilities were not available to enter into agreements with the Board of Supervisors of one or more nearby counties where adult detention facilities were adequate and had additional space to house inmates. The jail remains in an over capacity state, and will remain in that state until the proposed expansion has been completed.
The Alameda County Sheriff provides custody and care of Monterey County inmates pursuant to Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities as set forth in California Code of Regulations Titles 15 and 24, and in accordance with all Federal, State and local laws. Inmates are provided the same full range of medical care inside the facility as is provided to Alameda County inmates.
This agreement has been extended three times via amendment, which was the number of amendments approved by your Board. The Sheriff would like to continue the agreement with Amendment #4 to allow for operational flexibility during construction, and is therefore, presenting this agreement to you again, for authorization of Amendment #4 and three subsequent amendments.
A copy of Board Agreement A-12460 and all Amendments are on file with the Clerk to the Board.
