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, to counties. As a result, each county Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) must submit to the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) an annual implementation plan.
The planning and implementation document identifies the mission, purpose and goals, and also identifies expected timeframes for objective completion and performance measurements. The Yolo County CCP plan was first approved in September of 2014. Since it's approval, the CCP has coordinated planning efforts to accomplish the objectives outlined in the plan within the given timeframes. Most of the objectives and tasks for the plan were met in the first two years. Programs, services, and reviews were conducted and reported to both the CCP and the Board.
During FY 2015-16, the CCP partners focused primarily on maintaining program service levels, upgrading and updating case management systems (Probation, District Attorney and Public Defender), and the evolving responses to impacts from Proposition 47. In April of 2016, Probation's new CMS system went live. A department-wide effort to convert and update case information into the new system is still ongoing, but should be completed by the middle of October. The process is 85% complete.
Additionally, the CCP and the CAO's office have been working with the Yolo Superior Courts to revise and update responses to impacts from Proposition 47. Prop 47 reduced 9 drug related felonies to misdemeanor's overnight two years ago. Each county across the state has responded differently, but most jurisdictions have opted to avoid directing substance abuse interventions and probation supervision for this population because of the lack of "teeth" or consequence associated with violating terms of misdemeanor cases. Yolo County and its partners chose to proactively restructure the incentives and court terms within the Prop 47 misdemeanor offense convictions to encourage drug treatment and successful community supervision. The Board of State and Community Corrections is scheduled to release a state-wide grant opportunity to fund county and community service interventions that target substance abuse and mental health treatment services for Prop 47 populations. Because of the planning work and pilot program currently in place, the CCP and CAO's office are optimistic Yolo County could receive grant support.
