RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Retroactively approve City of Eureka Citywide Cleanup and Beautification Agreement (Attachment 1) with Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program (SWAP) for the period August 25, 2020 through August 24, 2021; and authorize the Sheriff to sign two (2) original copies of the agreement and any additional amendments, modifications, or extensions of the agreement.
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
City of Eureka
DISCUSSION:
For several years the SWAP program has provided inmate labor to the City of Eureka for citywide cleanup and beautification. This benefits inmates by giving them an alternative to incarceration and allowing them to benefit the community. It also benefits the city of Eureka by getting the beautification completed for a much lower cost than they would pay a landscaping company.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The County shall receive a total of $17,293.00 annually for the service with another $4,000.00 per contract term for equipment costs. There is no impact to the general fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by seeking outside funding sources to benefit Humboldt County needs .
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
City of Eureka
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose to not approve the contract or allow the Sheriff to sign the agreement but this is not suggested as it will have a negative impact on the ability to provide incarceration alternatives to the inmate population as well as reduce the beautification of the city of Eureka.
