Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On September 27, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Preliminary Plan for the implementation of AB 109 Criminal Justice Realignment. On November 15, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the FY 2011-12 CCP AB 109 recommended budget. The Board of Supervisors annually approves the CCP recommended budget; this occurred most recently on April 23, 2024.
Summary of Request:
The Public Safety Realignment Act (AB 109) was signed by Governor Jerry Brown on April 4, 2011. The policy changes in the act focus on alleviating overcrowding in the state prison system. The historic reform created a hybrid system that shifted incarceration and supervision of those classified as non-violent, non-serious and non-sex offenders to County responsibility. The Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) - as outlined in Penal Code Section 1230.1 - is required to recommend a plan to the Board of Supervisors to implement AB 109. In addition to a plan that attempts to address the impacts of the reform it also is required to make recommendations for the funding allocation that comes from the State for this realigned workload. The CCP Executive Committee consists of the Chief Probation Officer (Chair) Izen Locatelli, Sheriff Matt Kendall, District Attorney David Eyster, Public Defender Mick Hill, UPD Chief Cedric Crook, Court Executive Office Kim Turner, and Behavioral Health Director Dr. Jenine Miller. The CCP held meetings on February 13, 2025, and March 13, 2025, during which the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget was discussed. The CCP reviewed the revenues that are projected to be available in order to fund the various requests of departments and agencies to fund on-going activities.
Per the Governor’s January 2025 budget, Base Funds are projected to be $4,820,796. There was also a projection for Growth Fund revenues. Growth Funds are subject to a mandated 10% allocation to the Local Innovation Subaccount. The CCP Executive Committee has committed to developing a reserve by designating 15% of the balance of growth funds to the reserve, with the remaining funds to be allocated as contingency funds for the year. This year’s Growth projection is $630,190 (after 10% deduction for Local Innovation Subaccount). Of this amount $94,529 will be designated for reserve. Growth funds have been observed to be unstable due to varying economic factors and, therefore, historically difficult to predict. Growth funds are not included in the budget process.
The CCP Executive Committee has approved a budget in the amount of $8,636,026, which includes $4,416,294 for staffing/programs/services; and $4,219,732 to be designated as contingency funds at this time. The CCP Executive is requesting approval from the Board of Supervisors of the proposed CCP budget for the Fiscal Year 2025-26. With approval of the CCP budget, the CCP revenue will then be incorporated into the proposed operating budget of each designated CCP member agency.
Pursuant to California Penal Code Section 1230.1 “Each county local Community Corrections Partnership established pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1230 shall recommend a local plan to the county board of supervisors for the implementation of the 2011 public safety realignment. The plan shall be deemed accepted by the county board of supervisors unless the board rejects the plan by a vote of four-fifths of the board, in which case the plan goes back to the Community Corrections Partnership for further consideration.”

Provide direction; return this matter to the Chief Probation Officer and the Community Corrections Partnership for development of additional options.
