RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that:

WHEREAS, state law authorizes counties to charge arresting agencies a Jail Access Fee to supplement the state appropriations from the Local Detention Facilities Fund; and

WHEREAS, a certified and experienced public accountancy firm has determined that the County of San Mateo’s actual cost of booking an arrested person into the local detention facility, is $215, and the proposed Jail Access Fee reflects that the actual cost of individual booking of inmates, in accordance with statutory requirements; and

WHEREAS, your Board has previously authorized a Jail Access Fee of $215 for Fiscal Year 2007-2008, and pending the adoption of the state budget, authorized the extension of that fee through December 31, 2008; and

WHEREAS, following the adoption of the state budget, the Sheriff recommends the continuation of the Jail Access Fee in the amount of $215 through the end of the current fiscal year, until June 30, 2009; and

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, COUNTY OF SAN MATEO, THAT:
