On April 5, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved an MOU between the County and the Superior Court of California, Mendocino County ("Court") to implement and administer a Pretrial Service Program for the County of Mendocino for the period of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Senate Bill 129 (Stats. 2021, ch. 69), amending the Budget Act of 2021, provides funding for "the implementation and operation of ongoing court programs and practices that promote the safe, efficient, fair, and timely pretrial release of individuals booked into jail." As a result of this legislation and the funding provided by the State to the Court, Mendocino County entered into an MOU with the Court which allocated 100 percent of the funding to Mendocino County Probation to implement and administer a Pretrial Release Program for Mendocino County.
Mendocino County's Pretrial Release Program became operational on June 30, 2022. This presentation provides information and data on the first six (6) months of operation of the program through December 31, 2022.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
