BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
local government units to develop and implement a Comprehensive Multi-agency
Juvenile Justice Plan. Contra Costa County’s estimated allocation for this purpose is
$2,657,345. The legislation requires that this plan be developed by the local Juvenile
Justice Coordinating Council and that the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council be
chaired by the County Probation Officer. The Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile
Justice Plan developed by this body must be approved by the County Board of
Supervisors.
JJCPA funding for FY 2009/10 will allow Contra Costa County to preserve most of the
important children’s services that were established during the initial year of the grant.
The source of funding for the program has shifted and will now be made available
through state vehicle license fees, which will be allocated quarterly. As mentioned, the
estimated allocation for Contra Costa County for 2009/2010 is $2,657,345, but this
number will be dependent on the actual number of vehicles registered in the State of
California during the year. The estimated allocation is significantly less than fiscal year
2008/2009 and will require the elimination of one of the four main programs previously
operated through the funding: Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools. Funding for
contracts with community-based organizations has also been significantly reduced. The
following summarizes the programs proposed for continued funding under JJCPA as well
as those programs/services reduced due to revenue shortfall:
I. Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program
Initially funded through Challenge Grant I, the Deputy Probation Officers in High
Schools Program has been continued with funding from JJCPA. The high school program
places probation officers in selected high schools and special necessary schools to
provide supervision and intervention services for juvenile offenders and other at-risk
youth. The program stresses collaboration among schools, police agencies and Probation
to provide supervision and treatment services for youth.
II. Community Probation Program
Continued JJCPA funding will allow Deputy Probation Officers currently out-stationed
in various police agencies throughout the County to continue their focus on high-risk and
at-risk youth, and chronic offenders. The Deputy Probation Officers implementing this
program work non-traditional hours and collaborate closely with police agencies,
schools, and community-based organizations to help prevent offending behavior and
provide appropriate accountability.
III. Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) Aftercare
Deputy Probation Officers will continue to provide close supervision and support to
minors for 90 days after their graduation from the OAYRF program;
IV. Fee for Service Funding
For fiscal year 2008/09, funding for treatment was $115,315. It is proposed that this
amount be decreased to $24,000 for fiscal year 2009/10.
