FILE NUMBER
Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a three year agreement with
the Bureau of Prisons, for jail housing services for the period of November 21, 2017 through
November 20, 2020, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City
Attorney.
The City entered into an agreement with the US Marshal Service in 2014 to house US Marshal
inmates. The US Marshal Service and Bureau of Prisons are both agencies of the federal
government and have similar needs for inmate housing. The Bureau of Prisons has been using
the Santa Ana Jail to house inmates since October 2015 under an addendum to the US Marshal
(USM) agreement. The Bureau of Prisons continues to request the same terms and conditions,
with some exceptions.
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) agreement will also compensate the City $105 per day per inmate
and requires the City to provide basic inmate services which include medical, educational and
transportation services. However, BOP has requested that certain terms be revised to meet their
operational needs including, but not limited to the following:
1. Transportation services be added to include Medical Facilities and Residential Reentry
Programs locations.
2. In the event that a BOP inmate is hospitalized, the City will make regular telephone calls to
the hospital to verify the inmate remains hospitalized and the City will receive a rate of Y2
per diem per day.
3. Language in the USM agreement, "The Local Government shall use all reasonable means
to apprehend the escaped Federal detainee and all reasonable costs in connection
therewith shall be borne by the Local Government." shall be replaced with, "The Local

Government is to take no action to apprehend an escaped Federal Bureau of Prisons
inmate or detainee, but shall notify the Residential Reentry Manager."
The Bureau of Prisons provides an average daily population (APD) of approximately 17 inmates
per day. This ADP generates approximately $651,525 annually in revenue for the City. No
additional revenue will be generated from this agreement since the revenue was already
projected in the Jail Operations budget at the August 1, 2017 Council meeting. The agreement
term will be for the period of November 21, 2017 through November 20, 2020 and can be
terminated by either party for any reason with the written notice of 30 calendar days in advance of
termination.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this item assists the City in meeting Goal #1 Community Safety, Objective #4 (ensure
a sound fiscal model for jail operations), Strategy A (modify the Santa Ana Jail business model
and identify short and long-term goals to effectively meet the needs of the community through
contract negotiations with outside agencies, evaluation of staffing needs and increasing
operational efficiency).
FICAL IMPACT
Revenue from this agreement will continue to be deposited in the Jail Facility Rental account (no.
01114002 57460). No additional revenue will be generated from this agreement since the
revenue was already projected in the Jail Operations budget at the August 1, 2017 Council
meeting.
