Jail Appropriation Adjustment and Resolution August 15, 2017 Page 2 and allocate the 13 additional full-time positions needed to accommodate the US Marshal's request for additional bed space. Under the proposal, an estimated 138 inmates would arrive on or after September 1, 2017, followed by an additional 35 inmates over the following three months. The estimated new revenue from these inmates is $5,181,750 for the remainder of the Fiscal Year 2017-18. In addition, the USM general population has increased, as allowed under their current agreement with the City, by an average of 75 inmates and is projected to generate an additional $2,874,375 for the fiscal year. Between the proposal for additional bed space to accommodate the USM construction needs and the additional general population that has been housed at the Santa Ana Jail, the estimated revenue from these inmates is $8,056,125 for FY 2017-18. An additional $2,586,500 in various Jail related revenue will also be generated as a result continuing the Jail housing operation until June 30, 2018, as opposed to converting the Jail to a holding facility effective January 1, 2018. The total additional Jail revenue projected is $10,217,316. In order to accommodate the USM request and the increase in general population inmates, the Jail Operations budget will be increased by $5,924,910. The appropriation adjustment includes funding for 13 additional full-time positions, 25 part-time positions, overtime, and operating costs related to meals, contract services, and laundry. The costs are allocated to the following areas: Personnel (3,180,053), Contractual (2,632,139), and Commodities/Fixed Charges ($112,719). The addition of these positions will return staffing closer to Fiscal Year 2015/16 levels when the jail had a higher average daily population. In contrast, the FY 2016/17 staffing levels reflected the decrease in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement inmate population. The resolution will amend the FY 2017-18 Jail Operations budget to add 13 additional full-time Jail positions, including ten Correctional Officers, two Correctional Supervisors, and one Correctional Manager, needed to manage the additional US Marshal's inmates. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item assists the City in meeting Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #4 (ensure a sound fiscal model for jail operations), Strategy A (modify the Santa Ana Jail business model and identify short- and long-term goals to effectively meet the needs of the community through contract negotiations with outside agencies, evaluation of staffing needs and increasing operational efficiency). FISCAL IMPACT The appropriation adjustment will recognize $10,217,316 in additional Jail Operations related revenues in the Police Department Jail Facility Rental revenue account (no. 01114002-57460) 55C-2
