(a) While the County Jail Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1981 and
the County Jail Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1984 have helped
eliminate many of the critically overcrowded conditions found in the
164 county jail facilities in the state, many problems remain.
(b) Numerous county jails and juvenile facilities throughout
California are dilapidated and overcrowded.
(c) Capital improvements are necessary to protect life and safety
of the persons confined or employed in jail facilities and to upgrade
the health and sanitary conditions of those facilities.
(d) County jails are threatened with closure or the imposition of
court supervision if health and safety deficiencies are not corrected
immediately.
(e) Due to fiscal constraints associated with the loss of local
property tax revenues, counties are unable to finance the
construction of adequate jail and juvenile facilities.
(f) Local facilities for adults and juveniles are operating over
capacity and the population of these facilities is still increasing.
It is essential to the public safety that construction of new
facilities proceed as expeditiously as possible to relieve
overcrowding and to maintain public safety and security.

(c) If any county declares that it is unable to use the funds
allocated to it under this section, or if any county is unable to
satisfy the prerequisites for funding listed in Section 4494.10, the
amount allocated to the county in this section shall revert to the
state, to be reallocated by the board.
(d) If funds beyond those needed for the itemized amounts become
available for reallocation, the board shall reallocate those funds
under subdivision (e).
(e) Reverted funds under this chapter or subdivision (c) of
Chapter 1519 of the Statutes of 1986 shall be reallocated to counties
pursuant to the development and adoption of a new allocation plan as
determined by an allocation advisory committee appointed by the
board. The allocation advisory committee shall convene upon
notification by the board that funds have been reverted. Reallocated
funds shall be distributed three times. The first distribution
shall occur on December 31, 1990; the second distribution shall
occur on December 31, 1992, and the final distribution shall occur on
December 31, 1993. If any county seeking funds has not completed
architectural drawings at the time reallocation funds become
available, the county shall be removed from reallocation
consideration until it has completed architectural drawings.
(f) Any county that receives funds pursuant to this chapter or
pursuant to Chapter 444 of the Statutes of 1984, as amended, or
Chapter 1519 of the Statutes of 1986, that, in the aggregate, total
ten million dollars ($10,000,000) or less may pool or combine those
funds for the purpose of financing a jail construction project,
subject to approval of the project pursuant to this chapter.
However, under no circumstances shall the pooling of successive bond
allocations relieve or exempt the county from its obligation to meet
the 25 percent local match requirement.
This subdivision shall not be interpreted as an authorization to
utilize allocated funds to reimburse counties whose match on
previously approved and completed projects exceeded the required 25
percent.
4497.05. Money in the 1986 County Correctional Facility Capital
Expenditure Fund and money in the 1988 County Correctional Facility
Capital Expenditure and Youth Facility Bond Fund may be used on the
same project so long as the project is consistent with the purposes
set forth in Sections 4485 and 4496.12 and is subject to the
restrictions and requirements set forth in subdivision (f) of Section
4497.04. The deadlines applicable under this title shall be
applicable to the joint use of funds under this section.
4497.06. (a) The board shall administer the funds allocated in this
chapter to adult jail facilities, according to existing County
Correctional Facilities Capital Expenditure Fund regulations, except
as those regulations may be amended to comply with the provisions of
this chapter.
(b) The board shall apply its regulations in the approval or
disapproval of county jail projects, except that the board may
approve a project if the board finds, after conducting a public
hearing, that although the county cannot possibly meet the
regulations, the county will nonetheless comply with Section 4485.6.
4497.08. No state moneys shall be encumbered in contracts with a
county, nor released to a county, for construction or renovation of a
local jail facility pursuant to this chapter until the conditions of
this chapter have been fulfilled by the county.
4497.10. To be eligible for funding consideration, a county shall,
to the satisfaction of the board, do all of the following:
(a) Certify that juveniles are not housed in the county's adult
detention facilities, except where authorized by law; and document
the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for juveniles.
(b) Document the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for
persons detained or arrested because of intoxication, which will
prevent mixing of this category of prisoner with other prisoners. If
the county has no existing provisions for detoxification housing, it
shall make provisions for that housing as part of its proposed
project.
(c) Document the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for
mentally disordered defendants or convicted prisoners which will
prevent mixing of this category of prisoner with other prisoners
until the time that the responsible health authority or his or her
designee clears specific prisoners for nonseparate housing, based on
clinical judgment. If the county has no existing provisions for
separate housing of mentally disordered prisoners, it shall make
provisions for that housing as part of its proposed project.
(d) Submit a formal project proposal to the board on or before
September 30, 1990. The project proposal shall describe the
construction or renovation project to be undertaken and shall include
an estimated budget for the project. The proposal shall also
identify how county funding obligations, both for construction and
operation of the facility, will be met. The project proposal shall
be consistent with the needs and priorities identified in the needs
assessment by the county.
Failure to submit a project proposal shall be deemed a declaration
by the county that it does not intend to request its allocation
under subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 4497.04, and the amounts
allocated in those subdivisions to the county shall be available for
reallocation by the board. The board may waive this requirement for
submission of a proposal within one year if it determines there are
unavoidable delays in the county's preparation of a project proposal.
(e) Submit architectural drawings which shall be approved by the
board for compliance with minimum jail standards and by the State
Fire Marshal for compliance with fire safety requirements. If the
board concludes that a county's proposed construction or renovation
contains serious design deficiencies that, while they would not
require a refusal to enter into the contract, would seriously impair
the facility's functioning, it shall notify the sheriff and the board
of supervisors of that county of the deficiencies and shall delay
entering into a contract with the county for at least 30 days after
mailing the letter. This letter shall be a public record.
(f) The county shall certify that it owns, or has long-term
possession of, the construction site.
(g) The county shall have filed a final notice of determination on
its environmental impact report with the board.
(h) The county has formally adopted a plan to finance the
construction of the proposed facility.
(i) The county shall have submitted a preliminary staffing plan
for the proposed facility, along with an analysis of other operating
costs anticipated for the facility, to the board for review and
comment. Prior to submission of the staffing plan and operating
costs analysis of the board, the county board of supervisors shall
have reviewed and approved the submittal in or following public
hearings. The sheriff shall also have reviewed and commented on the
preliminary staffing plan and the operating cost analysis. The board
shall comment in writing to the sheriff and board of supervisors.
This letter shall be a public record.
(j) The county shall submit either a major or minor needs
assessment documenting the need for and purpose of the proposed
project. The needs assessment shall meet all requirements listed in
the applicable County Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure Fund
regulations. The board may exempt a county from performing a new
needs assessment if any of the following conditions exist:
(1) The board determines that a prior needs assessment is in
substantial compliance and it justifies the project being funded in
Section 4497.04.
(2) A county receives funds from this bond act in an amount of
three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) or less.
If exempted from performing a needs assessment, counties shall
provide an analysis of specific jail deficiencies, including levels
of security, program, including, but not limited to, medical and
mental health care, housing, and administration. This analysis shall
also include specific plans for correcting the deficiencies.
(k) Demonstrate to the board unless the county's sole project is a
remodel of an existing adult detention facility which will not
result in the addition of any beds, that it is using, to the greatest
extent feasible, alternatives to incarceration based on the
following measures: an incarceration rate of no more than one
standard deviation above the mean for all counties and, either a
pretrial misdemeanor incarceration rate of no more than one standard
deviation above the mean for all counties or a sentenced prisoner
alternatives percentage or 5 percent or more as related to total
sentenced prisoner admissions.
(1) The data to be used in establishing the incarceration rate
will be the 1989 calendar year average daily population as reported
by each county to the board and the Department of Finance Report on
Population by County.
(2) The pretrial misdemeanor incarceration rate will be based on
an average of the daily pretrial misdemeanor jail population,
developed from a four-day sample period in 1989 specified by the
board.
(3) The sentenced prisoner alternatives percentage will be based
on enrollment in three programs: Section 4024.2 of the Penal Code
(work-in-lieu of jail), county parole, and home detention if the
placement is made after some jail time is served.
(4) Counties failing to demonstrate adequate use of alternatives
to incarcerations by the above measure by March 30, 1990, shall be
reevaluated annually by the board. If any county is unable to
satisfy the requirements of this section by September 30, 1993, the
amount allocated to the county shall revert to the state, to be
reallocated by the board pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section
4497.04.
(l) Begin construction or renovation work within four years of the
effective date of this title. If a county fails to meet this
requirement, any allocations to the county under this chapter shall
be deemed void and moneys allocated to the county shall revert to the
board for reallocation. The board may waive this requirement if it
determines that there are unavoidable delays in the initial
construction activities.
(m) Counties shall provide for the construction of appropriate
courtroom facilities and hearing room facilities within any jail
construction plan submitted to the board. Those courtroom facilities
and hearing room facilities shall be utilized for purposes of
holding appropriate arraignments and bail hearings and for the
conduct of parole revocation hearings. The board may waive this
requirement where county specific circumstances dictate.
4497.12. (a) County match on projects funded under this chapter
shall be a minimum of 25 percent of the total project costs.
(b) The county match requirement imposed upon counties pursuant to
the receipt of state moneys shall not be required to be made on a
pro rata basis where the requirement would impede the expeditious and
equitable construction of county correctional facilities. However,
under no circumstances shall the county match for any county project
be less than 25 percent.
(c) Costs eligible for state funding and as county match shall be
those defined in applicable existing sections of the County
Correctional Facilities Capital Expenditure Fund regulations, which
regulations may be amended.
4497.14. (a) The board shall not approve the expenditures of funds
allocated under this act for the construction of county detention
facilities until a master site plan for county detention facilities
has been prepared and adopted by the board of supervisors of the
county proposing to construct the facility. The board of supervisors
shall determine the location of any detention facilities pursuant to
a master plan, which determination shall not be subject to any
initiative or ordinance adopted by initiative. In developing the
plan, the board of supervisors shall consider alternatives to
additional detention facilities and the specific concerns of
incorporated cities and other community representatives, and shall
give special consideration to existing federal, state, and local
detention facilities in order to avoid over-concentration of inmates
in one geographic area of the county. If the board of supervisors
decides to locate new or expanded detention facilities near existing
detention facilities, it shall publicly state its reasons for that
decision.
The board shall only approve expenditure of funds allocated under
this chapter for the construction of detention facilities in
accordance with the plan adopted pursuant to this section. The board
may exempt a county from this requirement if the master site plan
remains unchanged from that approved under the provisions of the
County Correctional Facilities Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1986.
(b) The board shall establish construction costs controls and
shall set forth in regulation procedures for setting maximum state
funding levels for appropriate construction unit costs, including
cost per cell for specified categories of facilities. These cost
controls shall be based on average costs in recently constructed
facilities in California that are comparable in size, use, location,
and other relevant factors.
Allocations listed in Section 4497.04 notwithstanding, the state
contribution shall be up to 75 percent of total project costs or up
to 75 percent of the applicable construction cost norms, whichever is
lower. Nothing in this section is intended, however, to prescribe
maximum limits on county funding levels for the projects.
Prior to releasing any funds to a county, the board shall review
construction cost levels in the funded projects for compliance with
cost control regulations.
(c) Prior to entering into a contract with a county, the board
shall review or approve or both review and approve the county
submissions required by this chapter regarding the facility or
facilities proposed for funding.
(d) The board shall collect annually from all counties information
on county incarceration rates, average daily jail populations as a
proportion of the total county population or total arrests or both;
pretrial misdemeanant ratios, the percentage which unsentenced
prisoners charged only with misdemeanors constitute the total average
daily unsentenced jail population; and sentenced alternatives
ratios, for example, average daily populations in work-in-lieu of
jail programs and county parole as a percentage of the total average
daily sentenced misdemeanant prisoner population. All counties that
have received or will receive state funds for jail construction shall
supply the board the information necessary to comply with this
section.
4497.16. If after a hearing, the board makes a finding that a
county has failed to comply with a condition or plan approved by the
board relating to the requirements of Section 4485.6, the board may
require the county to pay an amount equal to the pro rata portion of
the principal and interest, paid by the state on bonds the proceeds
of which were allocated pursuant to this chapter to the county for
the period of noncompliance. The repayment provisions shall not be
applicable if the noncompliance with the condition or plan is the
result of circumstances beyond the control of the county, or the
board finds the county cannot reasonably comply under the
circumstances.

be allocated by the Department of the Youth Authority to those
counties that received an allocation under Section 4497.28 which was
not sufficient to fund the remaining portion of the total cost of the
approved projects. The amount of each of those county's allocation
shall be that county's per capita share of the total funds available

Authority and begin construction or renovation work within six years
of the operative date of the regulations that implement this chapter.
If a county fails to meet this requirement, any allocations or
awards to that county under this chapter shall be deemed void and any
moneys allocated or awarded to that county shall revert to the
Department of the Youth Authority for reallocation to another county

issuance of General Obligation Bonds under the County Correctional
Facility Capital Expenditure and Youth Facility Bond Act of 1988, a
county or city and county shall do all the following:
(a) In the design and planning of facilities whose construction,
reconstruction, or remodeling is financed under the County
Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure and Youth Facility Bond Act
of 1988, products for construction, renovation, equipment, and
furnishings produced and sold by the Prison Industry Authority or
local jail industry programs shall be utilized in the plans and
specifications unless the county or city and county demonstrates
either of the following to the satisfaction of the Board of
Corrections or the Department of the Youth Authority:

delay to the construction of the property.
(2) The products are not suitable for the facility or
competitively priced and cannot otherwise be reasonably adapted.
(b) Counties and cities and counties shall consult with the staff
of the Prison Industry Authority or local jail industry program to
develop new products and adapt existing products to their needs.
(c) The Board of Corrections or the Department of the Youth
Authority shall not enter into any contract with any county or city
and county until that county's or city and county's plan for purchase
from and consultation with the Prison Industry Authority or local
jail industry program is reviewed and approved by the Board of

4497.52. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a county or
city and county may contract for the purchase of products as
specified in Section 4497.50 with the Prison Industry Authority or
local jail industry program without the formality of obtaining bids
or otherwise complying with provisions of the Public Contract Code.
4497.54. The Prison Industry Authority shall designate an
individual as County Jail and Juvenile Facility Liaison who shall
work with counties to maximize the utilization of Prison Industry
Authority products for construction, renovation, equipment, and
furnishing, to ensure that manufactured products meet the contract
specifications and delivery dates, and to assure consultation with
counties for development of new products and adaption of existing
products to meet their needs.
4497.56. It is the intent of the Legislature to maximize the
utilization of Prison Industry Authority products for jail
construction, renovation, equipment, and furnishings to ensure that
prisoners work productively and contribute to reducing the cost to
the taxpayers of their incarceration.
