EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May of 2010, the City executed an agreement with the County, to co-locate the identification, registration, and monitoring of convicted individuals regulated under the provisions of California Penal Code Section 290 (Sex Crimes Registrations) at FSO's Satellite Jail. Under this agreement, the City would continue to share the use of the office area of the Satellite Jail for the term specified. BACKGROUND Pursuant to State law, persons convicted of specific sex offenses, once on parole, must register with city or county law enforcement agencies where they reside. The law requires annual registration for most "290 registrants"; however, those that are "homeless" must register monthly. Registration includes filling out required Department of Justice residency information and the updating of photographs and fingerprints for newly released 290 registrants. The City of Fresno currently has nearly 2,500 registrants. This Agreement would continue FPD's use of the Satellite Jail from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023, with the option to exercise two consecutive, one-year extensions. The City's total annual cost for use of the facility is $20,000 which includes all operational expenses. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This is not a "project" for the purposes of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference does not apply as this is not a contract for procurement of materials/goods/ equipment or a professional services agreement. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for this Agreement is included in the Police Department's FY 21 General Fund budget. Attachments: Agreement with Fresno County Sheriff's Office
