A MOTION acknowledging receipt of a report from the department of adult and juvenile detention detailing the results of its capacity analysis for its community corrections program.
body
      WHEREAS, the county is mandated by constitutional, statutory and other requirements to provide secure detention and alternatives to incarceration; and
      WHEREAS, it is the policy of King County to encourage alternatives to the use of secure detention for adult offenders in order to make the best use of limited detention resources and preserve public safety; and
      WHEREAS, King County established the community corrections division of the department of adult and juvenile detention to provide alternatives to adult detention; and
      WHEREAS, community corrections alternatives are well utilized in King County and some are serving more clients that anticipated through annual budget planning; and
      WHEREAS, King County must ensure that its community corrections alternatives have sufficient size and geographic capacity to meet the needs of the courts; and
      WHEREAS, Ordinance 15975, the 2008 King County Budget Ordinance, contains a proviso requiring the department of adult and juvenile detention to identify which community corrections programs need to be expanded, when expansion is needed, and a description of the best geographical locations for the expanded programs, and include in the report an analysis of facility space vacated by the county's elections division upon their move to a consolidated facility; and
      WHEREAS, the executive has transmitted to the council with this motion, a report that details the results of the department of adult and juvenile detention's capacity analysis for its community corrections program and an analysis of the vacated elections space;
      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County:
 
      The Community Corrections Division Capacity Analysis - Report to King County Council, Attachment A to this motion, is hereby acknowledged as received.
