DATE: August 5, 1997
SUBJECT: INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT BETWEEN PROBATION / f -'�•
AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR SMART GRANT
SQA COU17'�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer to enter into an interagency agreement with the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa for management services support for the School
Mentoring and Resource Team Project((_SMART) grant award from the State of California Office
of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No General Funds are involved. Funds for this project will come from a grant in the amount of
$195,000 received by the County Probation Department from OCJP.
BACKGROUND:
A grant received by the County Probation Department from the OCJP will be used to develop the
School Mentoring and Resource Team (SMART) project, which provides for two probation officers
to work with East County schools in referring "at risk"juveniles to a diversion program focused
on computer-assisted learning. The computer-assisted learning program will be managed by the
Housing Authority and involves collaborations with a broad base of local agencies and community
organizations including the Brentwood Police Department, Chicano Latino Academies Reaching
Out(CLARO) and Martinez PAL, among others. Attached is a copy of the Interagency Agreement
between the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa and the County Probation
Department, which will implement this grant.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Supervisors elect not to authorize the County Probation Officer to enter into
the Interagency Agreement, the County Probation Department would not be able to take
advantage of the grant award which will provide much needed assistance for "at risk"juveniles
in Contra Costa County.
