FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR, County Administrators
_ County
DATE: l September_17_,_ 1.996
SUBJECT: SAFEFUTURES: Contract with Court Appointed Special Representatives
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. APPROVE an amendment to the SafeFutures contract with Court Appointed Special
Representatives (CASR) to add a Volunteer Coordinator position and to increase the
current payment limit of $30,394 by $43,075 for a total of $73,469 to include this
position.
2. AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to execute this contract
amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The SafeFutures contract with Court Appointed Special Representatives is funded through a
$1,410,000 grant with the federal Office of juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The
increase in the payment limit will be covered entirely through grant funding at no additional
cost to the County General Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On November 30, 1995, the County was notified of its $1,410,000 award under SafeFutures
from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
(OJJDP) for the prevention and control of juvenile violence and delinquency in targeted
communities. One component of the grant is to strengthen organizational infrastructure and
enhance juvenile probation services. A major element of this reorganization will be to
leverage probation resources through greater use of volunteers and collaborations with
community-based organizations. Through discussions with the County Administrator, Chief
Probation Officer and the Juvenile Court Judge, the concept of a Volunteer Coordinator was
created. Supervised by CASR, the Volunteer Coordinator will take the lead in defining
volunteers' roles and responsibilities; develop training, screening, and recruitment policies;
and develop an implementation plan for integrating volunteers into juvenile probation
activities.
