Reason for Recommended Action/Background
During the 2016-17 Adopted Budget hearing, the Board set aside $100,000 in a Safety and Security Contingency fund in order to allow departments to request monies with which to enhance the security of their facilities. The Public Defender has requested $3,272 of available funding in order to erect a gate to prevent individuals from setting up camp in front of their side entrance. This area is a blind alley that leads from the side door to the employee parking lot. Due to the lack of visibility of this area, it is common to have the area littered with debris, human waste, syringes and other inappropriate material. Installation of a security gate will prevent the nighttime camping that leads to the unsafe employee entrance.
