To be eligible for funding consideration, a county shall, to the satisfaction of the board, do all of the following: (a) Certify that juveniles are not housed in the countyâs adult detention facilities, except where authorized by law, and document the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for juveniles. (b) Document the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for persons detained or arrested because of intoxication, which will prevent mixing of this category of prisoner with other prisoners. If the county has no existing provisions for detoxification housing, it shall make provisions for that housing as part of its proposed project. (c) Document the existence of, or plans for, separate housing for defendants or convicted prisoners with mental health disorders, which will prevent mixing of this category of prisoner with other prisoners until the time that the responsible health authority or the health authorityâs designee clears specific prisoners for nonseparate housing, based on clinical judgment. If the county has no existing provisions for separate housing of prisoners with mental health disorders, it shall make provisions for that housing as part of its proposed project. (d) (1) Submit a formal project proposal to the board on or before September 30, 1990. The project proposal shall describe the construction or renovation project to be undertaken and shall include an estimated budget for the project. The proposal shall also identify how county funding obligations, both for construction and operation of the facility, will be met. The project proposal shall be consistent with the needs and priorities identified in the needs assessment by the county. (2) Failure to submit a project proposal shall be deemed a declaration by the county that it does not intend to request its allocation under subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 4497.04, and the amounts allocated in those subdivisions to the county shall be available for reallocation by the board. The board may waive this requirement for submission of a proposal within one year if it determines there are unavoidable delays in the countyâs preparation of a project proposal. (e) Submit architectural drawings that shall be approved by the board for compliance with minimum jail standards and by the State Fire Marshal for compliance with fire safety requirements. If the board concludes that a countyâs proposed construction or renovation contains serious design deficiencies that, while they would not require a refusal to enter into the contract, would seriously impair the facilityâs functioning, it shall notify the sheriff and the board of supervisors of that county of the deficiencies and shall delay entering into a contract with the county for at least 30 days after mailing the letter. This letter shall be a public record. (f) The county shall certify that it owns, or has long-term possession of, the construction site. (g) The county shall have filed a final notice of determination on its environmental impact report with the board. (h) The county has formally adopted a plan to finance the construction of the proposed facility. (i) The county shall have submitted a preliminary staffing plan for the proposed facility, along with an analysis of other operating costs anticipated for the facility, to the board for review and comment. Prior to submission of the staffing plan and operating costs analysis of the board, the county board of supervisors shall have reviewed and approved the submittal in or following public hearings. The sheriff shall also have reviewed and commented on the preliminary staffing plan and the operating cost analysis. The board shall comment in writing to the sheriff and board of supervisors. This letter shall be a public record. (j) (1) The county shall submit either a major or minor needs assessment documenting the need for and purpose of the proposed project. The needs assessment shall meet all requirements listed in the applicable County Cor
