County Administrator Costa
DATE: July 25, 1984 CPO County
SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF AB 2945 (BATES) PROVIDING FOR A PILOT
PROJECT DEALING WITH YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
Support Assembly Bill 2945 by Assemblyman Bates which provides for a pilot project to deal
with youthful 'offenders.
Background:
This bill would require the California Youth Authority to select a private non-profit agency
to establish a pilot project for the operation of a non-residential program of services for
mentally disordered youthful offenders, designed to prevent residential or institutional
treatment. The bill would appropriate $2,500,000 for this purpose.
The purpose of this pilot program would be to provide comprehensive non-residential services
to mentally disordered youthful offenders that would demonstrate the effectiveness of a
comprehensive approach to the provision of services to troubled youth with a history of
repeated, costly out-of-home placement, as well as the cost effectiveness of a coordinated
funding mechanism for agencies serving young people with multiple problems. The pilot program
described in the legislation is the type of program La Cheim currently offers to troubled
delinquents in this County. Thus, we feel that this County would be in a good position to
become designated as a site for the pilot program. If this happened, it would provide much
needed non-residential treatment slots for disturbed youthful offenders who would otherwise
require costly institutionalization in either County or private facilities.
