Section 6242.5 Of Chapter 9.4. Substance Abuse Community Correctional Detention Centers From California Penal Code >> Title 7. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 9.4.
6242.5
. (a) The board shall establish minimum standards, including
security requirements, for the construction of facilities pursuant to
this chapter.
(b) The board shall develop an architectural program describing
the functions which the facility will be expected to serve, but which
deemphasizes the correctional and detention nature of the exterior
of the facilities in order to ease the difficulty in finding
acceptable sites.
(c) Counties may substitute renovation of an existing structure
for new construction, but renovation costs per bed shall not exceed
the cost of new construction based on initial cost and useful life of
the facility, and shall meet the program design standards
established by the board. However, participation by a county or use
of existing facilities for programs under this chapter shall not be
utilized by a county to avoid meeting its needs for jail-bed
construction and housing of jail inmates.
(d) Per-bed cost of secure facilities proposed by a county shall
not exceed the cost of current similar construction by the
department.
(e) The county shall lease the site on which the facility is
located to the state for a term of not less than the period of bond
repayment. The department shall pay to the county as lease the sum of
one dollar ($1) per year beginning the first month after the first
payment for the repayment of the bond to continue through the
duration of the bond used to finance construction of the facility.
