Title
Transfer $405,000 from the approved 2012 Day Reporting budget to the Adult Intensive Supervision Program (AISP) Contingency Fund.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the Transfer.
The Department of Corrections is requesting a budget transfer of $405,000 from the approved 2012 Day Reporting budget to the AISP General Fund contingency to support current level services in State Fiscal Year 2012 (SFY12). The AISP allows clients sentenced by the court to live at home under rigorous intensive supervision. The primary goal is to protect the community by closely supervising offenders at appropriate levels of intensity so that violations are detected and appropriate sanctions are imposed. Staff are responsible for linking offenders to appropriate services to address targeted crime producing behaviors. The average term of probation is 18 months. The program's average daily population is 1,479 clients.
Over the past four years, AISP state awards have declined 13% from $3,168,745 in SFY09 to $2,743,348 in SFY12. The actual SFY11 expenditures for AISP were $3,348,628. The estimated cost to operate AISP in SFY12 is $3,568,720, which represents a 7% increase in expenditures. This request is for a transfer from 33024-110 to 33027-110 in the amount of $405,000. The County has worked with BI Incorporated to get the best services for the dollars available in 2012.
Alternatives: If this budget transfer request is not approved, public safety will be impacted because there will be fewer staff to supervise clients.
Financial Considerations: Request budget transfer of $405,000 from 33024-110 to 33027-110 in January 2012. The $405,000 will cover the salary shortfall within AISP. The SFY12 personnel costs for this program = $2,555,582. The total estimated cost to operate this program in SFY12 is $3,568,720. The current budgets associated with AISP are: 33014-253 ($140,793), 33020-253 ($2,602,555), 33067-253 ($239,372) and 33069-263 ($52,000). This program is also supported by client revenue. The estimated client revenue for SFY12 is $129,000.
