REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

FROM: JERRY P. DYER, Chief of Police
Police Department
BY: TOM LABAND, Lieutenant
Investigative Services Division
SUBJECT:
Title
Authorize the Chief of Police to enter into an agreement with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office for the continued shared use of the Satellite Jail facility office for the registration of convicted sexual offenders.
Body
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Council authorize the Chief of Police to enter into an Agreement with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office (FSO) to continue to co-locate the Fresno Police Department (FPD) and FSO 290 convicted sexual offender registration programs, through a shared use agreement, in the Fresno County Satellite Jail facility office area.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In May of 2010, the City executed an agreement with the County, to co-locate the identification, registration, and monitoring of convicted individuals regulated under the provisions of California Penal Code Section 290 (Sex Crimes Registrants) at FSO’s Satellite Jail. Under this agreement, the City would continue to share the use of the office area of the Satellite Jail for the term specified.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to State law, persons convicted of specific sex offenses, once on parole, must register with city or county law enforcement agencies where they reside. The law requires annual registration for most “290 registrants”, however, those that are “homeless” must register monthly. Registration includes filling out required Department of Justice residency information and the updating of photographs and fingerprints for newly released 290 registrants. The City of Fresno currently has 1,899 registrants. This Agreement would continue FPD’s use of the Satellite Jail from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018, with the option to exercise two, one-year extensions. The City’s total annual cost for use of the facility is $20,000 which includes all operational expenses. Due to revised financial terms from the original agreement, FPD currently has a credit with FSO resulting in no payment being due until April 1, 2018.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
This is not a “project” for the purposes of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section §15378.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
Local preference does not apply as County is a non-professional services provider.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these services will be included in the FY 18 budget.
