• The Governor's Budget provides $2.9 million General Fund for the design phase of fencing and security upgrades necessary to provide up to 505 secured state hospital beds at Metropolitan State Hospital. This project will allow two currently underutilized buildings to be used to add needed secured bed capacity driven by increases in the court-committed population.
  
  
• The Governor's Budget provides $2.7 million General Fund and $7.5 million Lease Revenue Bond to complete the design phase of satellite kitchen and dining room renovations at Napa and Patton State Hospitals and to start the construction of a new main kitchen and satellite kitchen renovations at Metropolitan State Hospital.
