developing programs that serve as viable, effective alternatives to incarceration; and
WHEREAS examples of such successful programs include: Pre-Trial Services

Program that allows misdemeanants to serve their sentence in community service
programs, as well as Step Forward, In-Step and Club'em, all of which have as their
objectiveS reduced number of jail days; and
WHEREAS the Community Corrections Division proposes a new program, the
Global Positioning System (GPS) SMART tether, which has the potential of saving a
significant number of jail days, thereby opening up vacancies in the Sheriffs Work
Release Program, without jeopardizing public safety, while simultaneously providing
programs directed at reducing recidivism; and
WHEREAS the current Work Release Facility is filled to capacity, with 157
males and 24 females, and has a waiting list of 30 offenders presently incarcerated in the
County jail; and

space in D Building, the GPS Program would have the capacity to serve fifty (50)
offenders in the first year and the potential for expanding in future years; and

consisting of one (1) Supervisor-Community Corrections (Grade 14), two (2) Community
Correction Specialists II (Grade 10), four (4) Community Correction Specialists I (Grade
9), as well as overtime for the Sheriffs Department Fugitive Apprehension Team to

WHEREAS the GPS technology, which provides 24 hour monitoring seven days
per week and can pinpoint an offender's location within fifty feet, would be available
through Pro-Tech Monitoring, Inc. located in Odessa, Florida at a cost of $9.00 per day
