| Recommended Action |
| Approve the FY 13-14 agreement with the City of West Sacramento for the Probation Work Program to provide basic yard work services. |
| Strategic Plan Goal(s) |
| Provide fiscally sound, dynamic and responsive services |
| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Pursuant to the County Administrative Code Section 2.8, the Board must approve contracts for services between the County and another political entity. Yolo County and the City of West Sacramento have historically utilized the Work Program crews.
The Probation Department Work Program provides an alternative to custody program for both juvenile and adult offenders. Low-risk offenders are allowed to serve their time by working in the community while supervised by department staff. Probation provides work program crews to county departments and other governmental agencies. Monies received for these contracted services help offset the cost of supervision as well as equipment. In addition, adult offenders pay participant fees for costs associated with this alternative program. |
| Other Agency Involvement |
| Staff of County Counsel and the County Administrator’s Office provided input for the proposed recommendation |
