The medical/mental health facility at the YCJ will allow for advanced care for those in our care. The ability to house those with special needs separate from our general population will undoubtedly be a benefit to our staff and those incarcerated in our jail. The project is advancing and I am hopeful that the groundbreaking will be in the following months. Finding #2: The Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program Counselor position at the YCJ has been eliminated. A new position, Drug and Alcohol Treatment Coordinator, will be shared between YCJ, and Probation. As of April 2022, this position has not ...

N/A • Though there was no recommendation given by the YCGJ, the Council would like to reiterate that there is already a codified mechanism in place to address the preservation and maintenance of the cemetery, and the Council will direct the Cemetery Commission as a body, report formally at an upcoming Council meeting, and if it has not already done so present proposed Commission Rules and Regulations, for approval by a majority of the City Council. The City Council will also direct the Cemetery Commission to, if not already doing so, meet publicly at least once per quarter, and form a quorum o...

The Yuba County Jail staff will continue to coordinate and work closely with the Yuba County Probation Department to establish and recruit for this much needed position. As we anticipate the opening of the medical/mental health facility it will be imperative that the position be in place as we move forward. . . Finding #3: With the passing of Measure K, the YCJ received $859,100 for fiscal year 2021-2022 and is hiring seven additional positions: one lieutenant, five correctional officers, and one office specialist.

Response: Will Not Implement

Score: -1

Disagree The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or appropriate. The Council believes a more appropriate solution is to provide a link on the City website that directs the public to the FPYCH website where the donations can be collected and managed by FPYCH. Alternatively, if the FPYCH does not have an appropriate website to collect donations, the City can direct the public to an already established third party website such as Charity Navigator (https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/680433016), which already appears to accommodate electronic donations and directs ...

Measure K has had an enormous impact on allocations within the jail and we continue to attempt to recruit and fill these new positions. The Lieutenant position has been filled for the past several months and has made an impact on the management of our staff and administrative duties that are required on a daily basis.

Response: Will Not Implement

Score: -1

Disagree in Part The recommendation will not be implemented as stated. Unlike larger agencies, the City of Marysville does not have a dedicated grant administrator to pursue financial support via State, Federal and/or Private Grants. Preparation of grant applications therefore falls upon individual Department Directors. Since City Staff resources are limited, Staff is focused on the pursuit of grants related to City Council priorities such as public safety, street improvements, improvements to community parks as well as general facility and infrastructure improvements. Council will direct that...
