DATE: November 18, 2025
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Retroactive First Amendment to Agreement with the City of Kerman
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive First Amendment to Agreement No. 24-621 with the City of Kerman to continue to assign one sworn Police Officer to the Public Safety Realignment Adult Compliance Team, effective July 1, 2025, with no change to the Agreement term of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029, increasing the Agreement maximum by $172,494 to a total of $349,874.
REPORT
The City of Kerman will continue to provide one sworn Police Officer to participate as a member of the Public Safety Realignment Act (Assembly Bill 109) Adult Compliance Team (ACT). The Agreement requires annual budget approval from the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) executive committee to ensure continued funding. Therefore, an item will be brought to the Board each year for final approval to ensure the necessary funds are allocated. Although the recommended Amendment is with the City of Kerman, which is in District One, this item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, the ACT will not include a Police Officer from the City of Kerman.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The recommended Amendment is retroactive to July 1, 2025, due to your Board’s approval of the County’s FY 2025-26 budget on September 15, 2025, which included the Department’s allocation for this recommended Amendment. The City of Kerman executed the recommended Amendment in October of 2025, and is being brought before your Board on the first available date within the agenda item processing deadline.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The amount of $172,494 for the recommended Amendment is fully funded with AB 109 funds received from the State of California. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in Probation’s FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Org 3430.
DISCUSSION:
The Adult Compliance Team (ACT) is a multi-agency unit created under Assembly Bill (AB) 109 to enhance supervision and public safety addressing public safety concerns and issues facing local law enforcement in Fresno County. The ACT enforces conditions of probation, conducts compliance and non-compliance searches of AB 109 probationers who are under the supervision of the Fresno County Probation Department, and provides immediate response to crisis situations. The teams also provide surveillance and warrant sweeps in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies.
On December 3, 2024, the Board approved the most recent agreement with the City of Kerman for the assignment of one sworn Police Officer in the amount of $177,380 for the first year of the term, from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. Because the agreement requires annual budget approval, an amendment must be brought forward each fiscal year to update the approved amount.
On June 9, 2025 the CCP Executive Committee approved the City of Kerman’s budget for its continued participation in the ACT. This allocation was included in the Department’s budget, which your Board approved on September 15, 2025, increasing the agreement by $172,494, for a new agreement total of $349,874.
