Title: Community Bond Program Update Discussion/Direction/Action. The Pima County Board of Supervisors on December 1, 2020, approved a Community Bond Program to provide county-supplied bail bonds for those accused of non-violent criminal offenses for which bail is set at $30,000 or less. The program is to reduce county costs for unwarranted jail detention stints and to improve circumstances for indigents accused of relatively low-level offenses. It is now 18 months since the Board action and no program is in place. Please provide an update on this situation and suggest solutions that can get this beneficial program underway within a reasonable time. (District 5)
