Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Acceptance of First Quarter 2025 budget adjustments including the transfer of $245,000 of CalAIM PATH JI grant funding from the Behavioral Health and Recovery Services PATH JI project budget to the Sheriff’s Jail budget to purchase activity tracking equipment and implement necessary Wi-Fi upgrades to support the Guardian RFID secure network system.                     

 

Summary of Request

Earlier this year, Jail staff requested and received approval from California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to apply $245,000 of CalAIM PATH JI grant funding (available in Behavioral Health and Recovery Services’ PATH JI project budget) to purchase Guardian activity tracking equipment and implement Wi-Fi upgrades to support use of the Guardian RFID secure network system in the Jail. Installation of networked WiFi and the implementation of the Guardian network system will allow Corrections staff to track CalAIM reimbursable activities in the Jail and meet requirements for CalAIM qualified services performed inside the Jail. This Capital Improvement project will authorize Facilities to complete the public project work required to accomplish the CalAIM grant deliverables.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not approve the appropriation or authorize the project and provide direction to staff.
