Agenda Title:

Proposed Resolution No. 2009-196 Regarding the Renewal of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Adams County for Broomfield’s Participation in the Adams County Community Corrections Board

Summary

• The City and County of Broomfield currently participates in the Adams County Community Corrections Board, through an IGA originally adopted by the City Council in 2001. The current agreement expires on December 31, 2009. Staff requests that Council consider renewing the IGA for another three-year term. A copy of the proposed agreement is attached.

• Section 17-27-101 CRS provides for the establishment of community corrections programs which present the courts with alternative sanctions to individuals who would otherwise be incarcerated in prison. Community corrections, otherwise known as “halfway houses,” can accommodate individuals convicted of less severe offenses who are diverted from prison and those who are in transition between prison and parole. The goal is to successfully reintegrate offenders back into society.

• Community Corrections Boards (CCB’s) are responsible for the administration of community corrections programs, monitoring halfway houses for compliance to standards and contract obligations, and to review offender cases referred for community corrections placement.

• Adams County and Broomfield County are both in the state’s 17th Judicial District.

• The 17th Judicial District’s CCB consists of 10-members, including two representatives from Broomfield, representatives from Adams County, as well as representatives from the Adams County Sheriff’s Department, the 17th Judicial District Probation Office, the Public Defender’s Office and service providers. Broomfield’s Court Administrator Jackie Smith and HHS Manager of Self Sufficiency Frank Schoengarth currently serve as Broomfield’s representatives to the Board.

• Staff recommends the renewal of the proposed IGA to avoid duplicated efforts which would be necessary on the part of individual counties should the joint CCB be dissolved.

• Adams County Commissioners will also be considering renewal of the IGA at an upcoming meeting. All indications are that they will renew the agreement.

• Proposed Resolution No. 2009-196 would renew the intergovernmental agreement with Adams County for a three-year term, expiring December 31, 2012, and designates Jackie Smith and Frank Schoengarth to the Board, as Broomfield’s representatives.

Prior Council Action

• Resolution No. 2001-340, Authorized the original Intergovernmental Agreement for Broomfield’s participation in the Adams County Community Corrections Board.

• Resolution No. 2003-208, renewed the IGA for a three-year term.

• Resolution No. 2006-213, renewed the IGA for a three-year term. Financial Considerations

Community Corrections for Broomfield and Adams County is funded by the State of Colorado through the 17th Judicial District.

Alternatives

Council may choose not to renew the IGA and direct staff to pursue establishing a separate Community Corrections Board. Proposed Actions/Recommendations

That Resolution No. 2009-196 be adopted.
