Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget Work Study Session <br />May 15, 2025 <br />Page 4 <br />5 <br />0 <br />4 <br />9 <br />1. Facility Improvements (70%): Approximately 70% of the funds would be allocated <br />toward critical infrastructure repairs, including plumbing, heating systems, and <br />general living conditions. This investment is essential to improve the physical <br />environment, support expanded programming, and provide a more functional and <br />humane setting for participants. <br />2. Program Outreach and Promotion (30%): The remaining 30% would be dedicated <br />to ongoing outreach and advertising efforts to promote the Pay-to-Stay program. <br />This includes targeted campaigns through legal publications, traditional media, <br />and other outreach strategies designed to continuously raise awareness and <br />encourage participation among eligible individuals. <br />The Pay to Stay program offers a valuable alternative for individuals who must serve jail <br />time but wish to maintain their employment, housing, and family responsibilities. It is <br />especially beneficial to working-class participants seeking a structured but less disruptive <br />environment. The program has also demonstrated strong revenue potential. In 2023, it <br />generated $15,644 in revenue, which increased to $66,162 in 2024, reflecting growing <br />interest and effectiveness. <br />Code Blue Emergency Communication System Upgrade <br />The most recent data for the Code Blue boxes is from year 2022, when 210 emergency <br />calls were received. Since then, the phone system has been out of service, but it is <br />reasonably estimated that up to 600 additional calls could have been made to date. <br />Despite the phone outage, the cameras have remained fully operational and have <br />supported multiple arrests, including two for homicide, one for a shooting, one for robbery, <br />and one for assault with a deadly weapon. <br />Code Blue Boxes <br />Calls in <br />2022 <br />Code Blue 1 3rd/ Ross 37 <br />Code Blue 2 2nd/ Broadway 39 <br />Code Blue 3 4th/ Spurgeon 0 <br />Code Blue 4 4th/ Main 53 <br />Code Blue 5 3rd/ Birch 25 <br />Code Blue 6 4th/ Birch 0 <br />Code Blue 7 5th/ Broadway 10 <br />Code Blue 8 Ross Annex/ Plaza of the Sun 0 <br />Code Blue 9 Hall of Admin (Bldg 10)7 <br />Code Blue 10 Madison Park 39 <br />Total 210
