Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Superior Court of California, Yolo County related to the expansion of the Yolo County Pretrial Release Program per California Senate Bill 129 which amended the Budget Act of 2021 to allocate $140,000,000 "to the Judicial Council to fund the implementation and operation of ongoing court programs and practices that promote the safe, efficient, fair and timely pretrial release of individuals booked into jail." This MOU runs from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024 and provides $529,920 in annual funding and $969,554 in one-time funding for the expansion of Yolo County's Pretrial Release Program.

On February 22, 2022, the Board approved a budget resolution establishing the fiscal year 2021-22 budget for the program which included funding for four full-time equivalent positions, necessary equipment including a hybrid vehicle, and other items required for program expansion. Since that meeting, the Superior Court of California, Yolo County informed the Probation Department that an additional $63,990 in funding was available for the current fiscal year. The action requested today appropriates that funding, and further requests approval for five new radios for the intended staffing compliment of the Yolo County Pretrial Release Program.
