- To provide the Board of Supervisors with flexibility in operating the County jails to ensure continued cost-savings and improvement of efficiencies, shall section 509 of the Charter of the County of Santa Clara be amended to read as follows:
On June 7, 1988, County voters approved Measure A adding
section 509 to the County Charter to reduce the cost of operating the County jails. Pursuant to this section, the Board of Supervisors established the Department of Correction and appointed a Chief Officer (now known as the Chief of Correction) to operate the county jails and to carry out such other functions as the Board determines. This section also required the Board to ensure that an adequate number of law enforcement personnel were authorized to carry firearms to guard and transport prisoners. The Board has met this requirement by having the Department of Correction operate the jail in conjunction and cooperation with the Sheriff.
To continue to reduce the cost of operating the jails, to ensure that an adequate number of law enforcement personnel are authorized to carry firearms to guard and transport prisoners, and/or to provide flexibility to address changed circumstances, the Board may, by ordinance supported by a 4/5ths vote of the Board, convey jurisdiction over any or all jail operations to the Sheriff, to the Department of Correction, to any other department or agency that may lawfully exercise such jurisdiction, or to any of these entities jointly as the Board may determine.
