6 responses to findings and recommendations
F2
The problem of homelessness in Sacramento County has drastically worsened over the past five years, as demonstrated by the dramatic increases in Point in Time counts.
Response: Agree
Score: +1
New facilities are needed to achieve compliance with the Mays Consent Decree.
F3
There are continuing ADA and HIPAA violations due to the lack of adequate healthrelated facilities while projects approved by the BOS are completed.
F4
There are interim measures that could be implemented at the Main Jail and RCCC to address Mays Consent Decree non-compliance issues while the Annex and interim projects are being designed and constructed.
F5
There are limited healthcare facilities and staffing in the Main Jail.
F6
Mandatory rotations in leadership positions at the Main Jail and RCCC have ad...
F3
A lack of affordable housing is the primary cause of homelessness and the most difficult one to solve due to the high cost of new development.
Response: Agree
Score: +1
Agree with finding The Main Jail and RCCC were constructed and renovated prior to the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in 1996. These challenges will persist while projects approved by the Board are designed and constructed. The Sheriff's Office, along with the Department of General Services, have identified Main Jail and RCCC ADA deficiencies and are working together to design and provide cost estimates for any identified improvements. Any identified improvements would be considered in coordination w...
R3
The Joint Powers Authority should develop and manage a comprehensive County-wide strategic plan to address homelessness
Response: Requires Analysis
Score: 0
The recommendation requires further analysis The Sheriff's Office and ACH have implemented a two-tier medical intake which has reduced overcrowding and officer wait time in booking. There is an initial "fit for custody" screening. Those individuals who will be housed at the Jail receive a second, more comprehensive medical screening. This second screening is on the medical floor away from all the distraction and pressure of the booking area. The Sheriff's Office requests until December, 2023 to analyze our new two-tier medical intake screening system to determine if this approach reduces overc...
F4
Sacramento Steps Forward does not have any elected leaders on its Board and lacks decision-making authority over the eight governmental jurisdictions in the County, making it powerless to implement needed changes.
Response: Disagree Partially
Score: 0
Partially disagree with finding As with ADA and HIPAA, the Sheriff's Office is always willing to find interim measures to become partially compliant or even fully compliant in accordance with the Remedial Plan of the Mays Consent Decree. We are committed to innovative and unique solutions while awaiting long term construction projects. The County Departments and Sheriff's Office, however, have determined that the installation of modular trailers within the Mail Jail parking garage or adjacent dirt lot is not feasible due to space and operational constraints.

R4
The County/City Partnership Agreement should be used as a model for the other six cities as an interim measure pending the creation of a Joint Powers Authority.
Response: Will Not Implement
Score: -1
The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or is not reasonable The limitations of space and existing infrastructure within the Main Jail enclosed parking area do not allow for temporary trailers. Additionally, temporary trailers would impede on the daily arrival and departures of busses transporting inmates to and from RCCC, courts and prison. Also, Fire Department responses to medical emergencies and critical events would be greatly impeded by the inability to park within the existing garage. Recommendation 6. The SSO and the BOS should quantify the costs of unnec...
F5
The legally binding agreement mandated by Measure O and the Partnership Agreement is a step in the right direction, but it applies only to the City and County of Sacramento.
Response: Agree
Score: +1
There are limited healthcare facilities and staffing in the Main Jail.
F6
Mandatory rotations in leadership positions at the Main Jail and RCCC have adversely impacted the County's ability to meet the requirements in a timely fashion.
F7
The sanitation of the Main Jail and RCCC is substandard, and there are inadequate written procedures in place to ensure cleaning is effective.
F8
The Sheriff's Department and the County BOS have not acted upon key recommendations by consultants and court-mandated experts to address non-compliance issues. RECOMMENDATIONS
