CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF_
SAN MATEO COUNTY ON THE MOTION TO DEVELOP ALTERNATIVES
FOR CONTINUANCE OF THE PRE-ARRAIGNMENT DETENTION OF
PRISONERS IN A NORT]I COUNTY FACILITY.
Whereas, the National Institute for Law Enforcement and Criminal
Justice Grant for the Replication of the Des Moines Community
Correction Facility, a part of which provides for the pre-ar-
raignment custody of North County prisoners, will expire on
December 31, 1976, and
Where~s, the need for a North County pre-arraignment detention
facility has been demonstrated by the processing of more than
10,000 North County prisoners since January 1, 1975 at the Daly
City facility, and
Whereas, it would have become necessary for the Police Department
of the City of South San Francisco to transport all prisoners
incarcerated after arrest to the San Marco County Jail in Redwood
City after January 1, 1977 .if the Board of Supervisors had not
expressed a willingness to continue the program on an interim
basis, and
Whereas, th~s process could involve as much as 120 minutes of
a police officer's time per arrest,
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of
South Sac Francisco that we commend the Board of Supervisors of
San Marco County for directing the County Manager to develop alter-
natives to continue the operation of the Pre-Arraignme,.t Detention
Facility on an interim basis after the current grant expires.
Be it further resolved that we urge the Board of Supervisors of
San Marco County to provide a permanent facility operated by the
San Mateo County Sheriff in close proximity to the North County
Courthouse.
