Background
In September 2020, the Board of Supervisors provided guidance to staff during the Adopted Budget meeting, indicating that there was interest in reassessing the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) budget process to better align with the CCP Strategic Plan 2019-2022. Beginning in November 2020 and continuing throughout 2021, staff from the CCP have actively engaged in assessing and enhancing the existing structure of the CCP budget. The culmination of this effort was the recent approval of the CCP Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 by the CCP Executive Committee. This budget reflects major shifts in how the CCP will operate moving forward and signals a shift toward major investment in treatment and innovation. The budget document may be found in Attachment A to this staff report.

FY 21-22 Budget Process
To achieve this goal of maximizing dollars toward treatment and innovation, staff first convened a CCP Budget Ad Hoc Subcommittee in November 2020 to discuss existing issues and gaps, and to begin collecting data from all of the CCP membership. As data was collected, it became clear that the CCP needed to shift its budget to a percentage-based budget, develop a set of policies around budgeting practices, and better track metrics data and outcomes in alignment with the CCP and County Strategic Plans.

After several Ad Hoc and special CCP meetings, the group was able to come to a consensus and vote on the concept of a percentage-based budget on June 14, 2021. This budget shifted dollars toward dedicated treatment and innovation funds but did not specifically allocate dollars within those areas. However, at the special CCP meeting on August 9, 2021, the CCP Executive Committee received proposals and voted on items specifically within the treatment and innovation funds. The list of proposals can be found in Attachment B to this staff report.

Next Steps
The CCP budget is ultimately considered as part of the Board's Budget Hearing in September, but there are additional next steps that the CCP needs to make in the coming months. The first step is to finalize the CCP budget policies as an amendment to the CCP Bylaws to formalize annual CCP budget processes. This policy document was developed and discussed by the CCP at the last several meetings, and it is anticipated that the document will be finalized at the October 11, 2021 CCP meeting.

Furthermore, the CCP has determined that a new Ad Hoc Subcommittee should be formed to determine best practices and a means to standardize CCP budget, outcome, and metric tracking. This is anticipated to be formed at the CCP meeting scheduled for October 11, 2021. This group would meet over the next several months to discuss findings and recommendations that would be ultimately voted on by the CCP Executive Committee either late in 2021 or early 2022. These policies would be developed to support the CCP Strategic Plan and will help develop the next iteration of the plan when it is ready to be updated after 2022.

Staff anticipates providing a presentation and seeking feedback from the Board of Supervisors on this topic at the August 31, 2021 Board of Supervisors meeting. All CCP meeting materials may also be found on the Yolo County website under the CCP's webpage.
