SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On February 4, 2021, the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) approved the recommendation that additional funding in the amount of $100,000 from the AB109 - 2011 Public Safety Realignment account be provided to the Sheriff’s Office for reimbursement for technology updates in the Jail to support the Guardian RFID system. The original budget for the Guardian system was approved in FY 2020/2021 and the Sheriff’s Office started the procurement process a few weeks ago. However, during the implementation phase, it was discovered that significant technological infrastructure needs to be built into our existing facilities to support the Guardian system. County ITD provided a conservative estimate of $100,000 to install the necessary equipment to provide wi-fi capabilities in the necessary areas. As such, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting augmenting FY2020-2021 budget to assist in building the necessary infrastructure for this approved project.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The County Administrative Office has reviewed this Report.
