Body
COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Provide for the Safety, Health and Social Service Needs of County Residents.
Pursue County Goals and Objectives by Working with Other Agencies and Stakeholders.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). As a result of Assembly Bill (AB) 1869, which eliminated a county's ability to charge fees for electronic monitoring and work release programs, the 2022-23 State Budget provided $65 million in revenue to backfill counties for the loss of this fee revenue that supported the programs. Adequate appropriation of $1,217,138 and $410,000 for the provision of Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking services has been included in the 2024-25 budget for the Probation Department (Probation), and the Sheriff/Coroner/Public Administrator (Sheriff), respectively. Sufficient appropriation will be included in future recommended budgets for future payments.
