Potential City of Eugene Responses to Lane County FY 08-09 Proposed Budget ATTACHMENT A One-Time Recommended Gap Service Area Reductions/Eliminations Urban/Rural Impacts Funding, if Eugene Responds ? 60 out of 93 beds at the Community Corrections Center are scheduled for closure. ?Up to 2,491 of the 3,037 sentenced and sanctioned offenders would be capacity-based Community Corrections Center releases without serving sentences. Of the 546 Alternative Corrections who are serving their sentences, only about 60 of Programs them would be able to serve their sentence in an “in-custody” bed at the CCC. The other 486 would be released to the community either on the Electronic Surveillance Program, or the DOMC Sit-In program. ?This reduction would eliminate much of the revenue the CCC generates each year through the fees collected from the participants in the program. ?Eliminate Community Service program which manages an average of 400 offenders each day. Would result in an increase in number of offend- ers released without completing their state- mandated sentences. ?Eliminate coordinator position responsible for field operations, training and management for almost 200 volunteers representing 22,000 hours of service. Without this position, Search & Search & Rescue Rescue reverts to patrol staff as available. Lane County was involved in 87 Search and Rescue (SAR) missions in 2007, making it third in the state for SAR missions. ?Eliminate coordinator position responsible for enhancing Lane County’s ability to mitigate Emergency Management against, prepare for, respond to and recover from all types of emergencies and disasters.
