| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In 2011, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill AB 109, realigning a significant amount of state funding that supported state prison and parole capacity for non-serious, non-violent, non-sexual offenders. The Legislature believed that local jurisdictions could take this new funding and develop services that would have a greater affect at lowering recidivism rates among the affected criminal population. In November 2013, the Board of Supervisors established an ad hoc subcommittee for public safety realignment strategic planning. That Public Safety Board Ad Hoc subcommittee, in collaboration with the Community Correction Partnership (CCP) and with facilitation provided by the Crime and Justice Institute, produced a five year Yolo County Public Safety Strategic Plan (2014-2019). In addition, multiple public sessions were held to help guide the development of the strategic plan. The plan document identifies the mission, purpose and goals, and also identifies expected timeframes for objective completion and performance measurements. The plan was first approved in September of 2014. Since its approval, the CCP has coordinated planning efforts to accomplish the objectives outlined in the plan within the given timeframes.
Directly after the creation and approval of the current Strategic Plan, significant legislation through a voter initiative was passed. This initiative, Proposition 47, converted the majority of felony drug crimes and theft offenses to misdemeanors. This has created a shift in the makeup of the criminal justice population.
Additionally, during this time frame a change to the State Realignment funding formula has negatively impacted the long term CCP budget forecast. As a result, funding for various programs was reduced in FY17-18 and the CCP voted on February 26, 2018 to develop funding requests for FY2018-2019 with those same funding reductions in place.
Given the changes in both the criminal justice population and funding available for realignment programming, the CCP believes an update and refresh is needed of the CCP Strategic Plan to ensure effective and sustainable criminal justice services in Yolo County.
Overall, the strategic plan refresh is set to occur during the first half of the 2018 calendar year. It will begin with the development of an environmental scan and development of performance measures for each of the CCP funded programs. This will help provide the CCP with a review of data related to the criminal justice population and the current purpose of each of the programs they are funding (with a method to measure if they are achieving their intended outcomes). The CCP will then reassess their mission, guiding principles and goals to determine if any alterations should be made. Outreach will also be made to various advisory groups and interested parties in the County to gather input. Finally, the group will identify and prioritize objectives in comparison to the current items in their strategic plan. A new CCP analyst has been recently hired to assist in driving this process forward. |
