Executive Summary:
The Probation Department requests Board approval to enter into an agreement with the Town of Windsor for general maintenance and landscaping services to be performed by a Supervised Work Crew, to begin May 25, 2021 through June 30, 2024. Annual revenue is projected to be $50,000 equating to approximately providing 40-45 crew days per year. Upon mutual agreement of both parties the agreement allows for two, one-year extensions for a total not to exceed amount of $250,000.
Discussion:
In 1985, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors authorized the Supervised Adult Crew (SAC) program under Penal Code section 4024.2. The program was recently renamed Supervised Work Crew when the Juvenile Weekend Work Crews were moved out of Probation Camp and administratively incorporated in to the program. The program allows low-risk offenders to work on community projects in lieu of jail or juvenile detention, and to satisfy any Court-ordered community service requirements. The program recycles tax dollars by charging fees for services at a labor savings to taxpayers, allows government to complete projects that would otherwise be unaffordable, and allows offenders to contribute labor toward taxpayer projects, while still completing their sentences. Currently the Department holds agreements for annual crews with Regional Parks, Ag + Open Space District, City of Santa Rosa, CalTrans and many other state and local agencies.
The Probation Department has for at least the past six years entered into annual contracts to provide services to the Town of Windsor, within the authority conferred to the Chief Probation Officer (under $200,000). In order to maintain this contractual relationship and reduce administrative costs, Windsor officials approved the attached agreement on March 17, 2021.
Consistent with Penal Code 4024.2(b)(1)(D) typical crew duties in this contract include: The clearing or trimming of overgrown brush and trees, wildfire mitigation, replanting vegetation, repairing and clearing drainage ditches, removing weeds, collecting and eliminating litter.
