REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />NOVEMBER 18, 2014 <br />TITLE: <br />AGREEMENT WITH THE BUREAU OF <br />PRISONS TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR <br />FEDERAL PAROLEES AND INMATES <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 1, 4A) <br />6 <br />CITY MANAfdER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1� Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2ntl Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />1. Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a new three -year <br />housing agreement with the Bureau of Prisons for jail housing services at the per diem <br />rate of $105 per inmate, subject to non - substantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />2. Approve an appropriation adjustment recognizing $200,000 in Jail Facility Rental revenue <br />in the General Fund revenue account (no. 01114002 57460) and appropriate same to the <br />Field Operations expenditure account (no. 01114420 - 61000). <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has a need to house up to 60 inmates who have failed the <br />pre - release residential confinement regimen or who are sentenced to less than 365 days. Rather <br />than send these individuals back to prison, local federal parole offices would book violators or <br />short-term sentenced inmates to the Santa Ana Jail. As a sister agency to the United States <br />Marshals Service (USMS), BOP is authorized to emulate the existing USM's contract with the <br />City at the negotiated per diem rate of $105. It is expected after the flux of the initial booking <br />period, the Bureau's average daily population (ADP) will level off to approximately 30 to 40 <br />inmates. <br />An ADP of 30 inmates will generate $94,500 monthly, or $1,134,000 per year. This fiscal year, <br />the Police Department is anticipating between $200,000 and $661,500, depending on the <br />quantity and arrival date of BOP inmates. $200,000 will be recognized and appropriated this <br />fiscal year, and the FY 2015 -16 Jail Facility Rental revenue projection will be revised to include <br />this new revenue source. These funds will be used to support the hiring of additional full -time <br />police officers. The agreement is effective upon the date of signature of authorized BOP officials <br />and can be terminated by either party for any reason with the written notice of 30 calendar days <br />in advance of termination. <br />20C -1 <br />
