L r' 4 . _.. i I BACKGROUND: I The primary use of these augmentations is capacity building. The augmentation for Resource Development Associates will support additional data collection and analysis of program outcomes. (The current contract budget underestimated the time needed to collect and check performance data and to develop comparison groups with which to measure outcomes.) The augmentation for Mark Morris Associates (project management services) will pay for: additional technical assistance by Abner Boles to West County agencies and to probation regarding sustainment funding; technical assistance to the West County Gang Task Force in developing a community-wide, coordinated, crisis response plan; and staff and technical assistance to JSPAC to update the County's juvenile justice continuum of care plan. i The augmentations for the Youth Service Bureau and Opportunity West, and the new contract for the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, will support a special peer leadership project, providing new employment opportunities for gang youth in a video production regarding youth in West County. I The above recommendations will increase contract payment limits as follows: Original contract Proposed New AgencyI amount Increase Contract W.C.C.

The fifth and final year will end on September 30, 2001. The proposed funding additions listed above are possible because of savings in prior years. We have an opportunity to do some final capacity- building before the grant ends and i to develop a special peer leadership project with youth gang members who have worked successfully with SafeFutures service providers. I Over and above the augmentations listed above, we are submitting a request to OJJDP for a "no cost extension" for another $170;000 in unexpended funds. If the extension is granted, we will return to the Board for further implementing action. I I i I I I I I I I . I i I I i I
