EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the consequences of Assembly Bill 109, the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 (AB109), was the shifting of responsibility for supervising convicted criminals released from state prison facilities to county probation departments. To accomplish this, funding was allocated from the State of California to the 58 counties through the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Boards established in each county. The Fresno County CCP established an ACT to ensure that convicted criminals are closely supervised after release. A Fresno Police Officer has been part of the ACT Team since its inception in October 2011. In January 2016, the City of Fresno and the County of Fresno entered into an agreement to continue the assignment of the one Fresno police officer to fulfill the responsibilities of the ACT member as set forth by AB109 through June 2016. In November 2016, the City of Fresno and the County of Fresno amended the original agreement adding two additional police officers and one sergeant in the ACT Team. The City of Fresno and the County of Fresno entered into a proposed Third amendment to the original agreement, which included the addition of four Police Officers and one Crime Analyst which will be assigned to the M.A.G.E.C. Team. The City of Fresno and the County of Fresno now desire to enter into an agreement to continue funding of seven Fresno Police Officers, one Police Sergeant and one Crime Analyst plus equipment which costs shall not exceed $1,828,200 for Fiscal Year 2018-19, which will continue to be assigned to the ACT and MAGEC Teams. CCP monies shall be used solely to support ACT / M.A.G.E.C. operations and personnel needs. BACKGROUND A Fresno Police Officer has been a part of the ACT Team since its inception in October 2011. On June 2, 2016, Council approved the First Amendment to Agreement 16-030, which extends the provision of one Police Officer for ACT through June 30, 2017. In November 2016, the City of Fresno and the County of Fresno amended the original agreement adding two additional police officers and one sergeant in the ACT Team. The City of Fresno and the County of Fresno now desire to enter into a proposed Third amendment to the original agreement, which includes the addition of four Police Officers and one Crime Analyst assigned to the M.A.G.E.C. Team. The City of Fresno and the County of Fresno entered the Third Amendment to increase the M.A.G.E.C. Team to include four additional Fresno Police Officers and one Crime Analyst. The Third Amendment states that the total compensation for the four Police Officers and one Crime Analyst, equipment, and indirect costs shall not exceed $969,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The City of Fresno and the County of Fresno now desire to enter into an agreement to continue funding of seven Fresno Police Officers, one Police Sergeant and one Crime Analyst plus equipment which costs shall not exceed $1,828,200 for Fiscal Year 2018-19, which will continue to be assigned to the ACT and MAGEC Teams. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS This is not a "project" for the purposes of CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local Preference was not considered because accepting funding from the State does not include a bid or award of a construction or services contract. FISCAL IMPACT The Police Department's FY 19 budget has $1,581,200 appropriated for part of this agreement and the attached amendment for $246,900 adds appropriations to fully fund seven Fresno Police Officers, one Police Sergeant and one Crime Analyst plus equipment and vehicles. All costs will be reimbursed by the County of Fresno. The total cost of the program will not exceed $1,828,200 in FY 19. There will be no impact to the General Fund.
