DATE: February 25, 2025
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Tenth Update to Assembly Bill 109 Community Corrections Partnership Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Tenth Update to the Community Corrections Partnership Plan (Plan), which includes updates of Assembly Bill 109-funded programs and services, as required by the Public Safety Realignment Act pursuant to Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011)/Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011).
REPORT
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. In prior years, the BSCC has providing funding for the completion of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Survey, which consists of Part A - CCP Membership and Implementation of the County’s CCP Plan narrative and Part B - Allocation of Public Safety Realignment Dollars. Additionally, a completed CCP Survey package includes the county’s most recent CCP Plan. While the 2024-25 Budget Act did not include funding for this survey, the CCP plan was updated to ensure it accurately reflects the current priorities and resource utilization of Assembly Bill (AB) 109 funding across all CCP partnerships. This plan has been updated nine times since the original approval date, and the recommended action will approve a tenth update to the Plan. This update was approved by the CCP on December 9, 2024, and requires a 4/5 vote by the Board to reject it (Penal Code § 1230.1). This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the updated Plan is rejected by the Board, the CCP would be required to approve an alternative update to the Plan and return to the Board for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The associated costs are fully offset with AB 109 funds.
DISCUSSION:
AB 109 was signed into law on April 5, 2011 and went into effect on October 1, 2011, transferring responsibility for housing/supervising specified inmates and parolees from the California Department of Corrections (CDCR) to counties.
In accordance with AB 109/AB 117, the County created a CCP and developed a plan that will enable the County to meet the goals of the public safety realignment. The CCP Executive Committee (voting members) in Fresno County consists of seven members: the Chief Probation Officer (chair); the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court or designee; the District Attorney; the Sheriff; the Public Defender; the Director of Behavioral Health; and the City of Clovis’ Chief of Police. This implementation Plan was approved by the CCP on August 19, 2011 and approved by the Board on September 13, 2011.
This year, the Plan has been restructured into different sections, reflecting the current programs and services under the leadership of the CCP. This restructuring includes an updated inventory of AB 109 funding priorities and resource utilization within each CCP Partnership. This enhanced transparency will improve accountability for the use of AB 109 funds and ensure that resources are being utilized effectively to achieve the goals of public safety realignment.
Penal Code § 1230.1 requires that the CCP 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 Board of Supervisors unless the Board rejects the plan by a four-fifths vote of the Board, in which case the Plan goes back to the CCP for further consideration.
The CCP and the Board have approved nine updates to the Plan since it was initially approved. These regular updates are crucial for ensuring that the CCP Plan accurately reflects the evolving needs of the community and the effective utilization of AB 109 funding. Approval of the recommended action provides for the tenth update to the Plan.
