Significant renovations are taking place at the <br />Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Los Angeles, which affects their <br />ability to house inmates. The renovation work is scheduled to begin in late September 2017 and <br />anticipated to be completed in August 2019. The USM have requested immediate approval to <br />transfer inmates to the Santa Ana Jail under the existing terms of their agreement with the City at <br />the current rate of $105/day. <br />Under the proposal, an estimated 138 inmates would arrive on or after September 1, 2017, followed <br />by an additional 35 inmates over the following three months. The estimated new revenue from <br />these inmates is $5,181,750 for the remainder of the Fiscal Year 2017/18. <br />In addition, the USM general population has increased, as allowed under their current agreement <br />with the City, by an average of 75 inmates and is projected to generate an additional $2,874,375 <br />for the fiscal year. <br />65C-1 <br />
