RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve a supplemental budget (Attachment 1) to establish the fixed asset line in the amount of $24,200 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 for additional cameras to be added to the existing camera system for the Correctional Facility in budget unit 1100-243 (4/5 Vote Required).
Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) has an established contract with Integrated Security Controls to provide the camera and security system throughout the jail. Over the term of the contract there has been the need to expand the system for better overall security. These expansions create additional safety precautions for inmates and staff.
With this funding, HCCF plans to expand in three of the large dormitories to have cameras placed in classrooms that are connected to the housing unit. These classrooms have not been used due to the fact they are out of sight for staff. By placing cameras in them this will allow for programs and volunteers to provide services to inmates in those classrooms while also being monitored for safety. This will allow HCCF to provide better services to those incarcerated, so they are better prepared for release. Some examples of the programming would be Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous, parenting classes, (General Educational Development) GED test preparation, substance abuse, ministry and other types of counseling/instruction.

Narrative Explanation of Financial Impact:
The cameras are an expansion of the current security camera system and therefore considered a fixed asset. Funding for these cameras will be provided by the Inmate Welfare Fund trust 3884 that has a current balance of $959,590. Due to anticipated tariff cost increases, HCCF is requesting the supplemental budget in FY 2024-25 in order to place the order and lock-in pricing. The cameras will not be received or installed prior to June 30, 2025. A carry forward of appropriation will be necessary in FY 2025-26 as this was not anticipated in the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget. This carry forward will be coordinated with County Purchasing and County Administrative Office staff. The total of this project is $24,200 which is reflected in both fiscal years due to timing of the request.
STAFFING IMPACT:
There is no impact to staffing.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board may choose not to approve the supplemental budget. However, this alternative is not recommended. The equipment is needed to enhance the daily operations of the jail.
