SUBJECT
Title
SHERIFF - RECEIVE DONATION FROM THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA FOR SHERIFF'S REENTRY PROGRAMS (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
For several years, the Chula Vista Police Department operated its own city jail as a temporary holding facility for incarcerated persons. Individuals who did not make bail or required further judicial proceedings were transferred to a San Diego County jail. The Chula Vista holding facility met California Title 15 requirements and maintained an Incarcerated Persons' Welfare Fund (IPWF) in accordance with state law. By statute, IPWF is to be used for the benefit, education, and welfare of incarcerated persons while in custody.
In 2023, the City of Chula Vista asked the San Diego Sheriff's Department (SDSD) if SDSD could use the remaining Incarcerated Persons' Welfare Fund balance, as the City of Chula Vista closed their Incarcerated Persons' Welfare Fund in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Sheriff's Department agreed to accept $76,104.08 and utilize the proceeds to support reentry programs in horticulture and landscaping for incarcerated persons housed at Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility (LCDRF) and East Mesa Reentry Facility (EMRF).
County of San Diego Administrative Code Article III, Section 66 Acceptance of Gifts and Board of Supervisors Policy A-112, Acceptance and Use of Gifts and Donations, provide a process for accepting gifts by the administrative heads of each department in the County, subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors. This is a request for the Board of Supervisors to receive $76,104.08 from the City of Chula Vista to be used by the SDSD Reentry Services Division for the enhancement of current sustainability projects used for training incarcerated persons.
