Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 07231996 - C58 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra FROM: Terrence Starr, County Probation Officer "= Costa County DATE: July 8, 1996 SUBJECT: Inter-County Placement Agreements- Del Norte County SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION That the County Probation Officer be authorized to enter into two (2) agreements with Del Norte County. One agreement is for the purpose of reserving accommodations for the placement of two (2) delinquent wards of the Juvenile Court in Del Norte County's Bar-O-Boys Ranch at a monthly rate of$1,700.00 per reservation. The second agreement would permit the placement of additional delinquent wards from Contra Costa County at Bar-O-Boys Ranch, if Contra Costa County needed the resource and if space were available at the Del Norte County facility. The monthly rate for space available placements is $1,850.00 per month per ward. BACKGROUND Del Norte County operates their boys ranch under the provisions of Section 880, Welfare and Institutions Code. The camp has 42 beds which exceed their needs and they make beds available to other counties under the provisions of Section 888, Welfare and Institutions Code. Section 755, Welfare and Institutions Code, allows the Juvenile Court to permit a ward's placement out of county under the supervision of the Probation Officer of that county. Contra Costa County has had agreements with Del Norte County for such placements since 1994. Several minors not suitable for placement at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility have successfully completed programs at Bar-O-Boys Ranch and the county currently has three minors in placement there. This resource has expanded the Probation Department's options for difficult to place youth, and having reserved accommodations at Bar-O facilitates the placement process, resulting in shorter periods of detention at Juvenile Hall pending delivery.

The Probation Department anticipates that the availability of the residential boys treatment program at Juvenile Hall this fall(funded by the SafeFutures grant)will reduce the need for resources such as the Bar-O-Boys Ranch and that two (2)beds will suffice rather than four(4). The space available agreement would provide insurance in the event our local program is at capacity. COST The rate of payment charged for reserved accommodations is $1,700 a month per ward and the rate for a space available bed is$1,850 per month. These rates can be compared to the average monthly cost of group home care at approximately$3,700 (gross) and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility cost of$2,000 per ward. THE AGREEMENT The attached agreement language has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and the Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, Lois Haight.
