Section 6250 Of Chapter 9.5. Community Correctional Centers From California Penal Code >> Title 7. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 9.5.
6250
. (a) The Director of Corrections may establish and operate
facilities to be known as community correctional centers. The
director may enter into a long-term agreement, not to exceed 20
years, for transfer of prisoners to, or placement of prisoners in,
community correctional centers.
(b) No later than 30 days after the department has designated a
site as a potential site, the director shall notify the county board
of supervisors or city council in whose jurisdiction the center may
be located. The notification shall set forth the specifics of the
site location, design, and operational characteristics for the
facility. The department shall not contract for the facility until it
has received and reviewed the comments of every local agency
notified under this section or the expiration of 60 days after having
given notice to the local agency, whichever occurs first.
Upon receipt of the notice, the city, county, or city and county
may hold a public hearing concerning the impact of the facility on
the community. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the city,
county, or city and county may make a recommendation to the
department as to the appropriateness of the proposed site, specific
design and operational features to help make the facility more
compatible with the community, and alternative locations, if
appropriate.
Upon receipt of comments and recommendations, the department shall
determine whether to proceed with the facility, to modify the
proposal, or to select an alternative site. If the department selects
a site recommended by the local agency after a hearing conducted
pursuant to this section, no further review or hearings are required
by this subdivision.
(c) The notice referred to in subdivision (b) may be delivered by
hand or sent by any form of mail requiring a return receipt. Failure
to provide the notice shall be grounds for extinguishing the contract
upon motion of the board of supervisors or city council.
(d) The Director of Corrections shall not change the use of or
significantly increase the capacity of a community correctional
center established pursuant to subdivision (a) unless the director
has first notified the county board of supervisors or city council in
whose jurisdiction the center is located at least 30 days prior to
the change of use or capacity. Failure to provide the notice shall be
grounds for enjoining the change in use or capacity.
