Subject:HEARING TO CONSIDER INCREASING FEE OF CARE OF MINORS AT THE ORIN ALLEN YOUTH
REHABILITATION FACILITY AND THE JUVENILE HALL
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
of this resolution, increasing the fee to $30.00 per day, is expected to increase the
estimated annual revenue to $1,092,270.00 and is necessary to offset a greater portion of
the actual cost.
The total annual number of minor care days at Juvenile Hall is approximately 63,432.
Under the current fee of $17.03 per day, the Probation Department generates
approximately $1,080,247.00 in revenue to offset the actual cost of care. The current
actual cost of care per day, $33.61, exceeds the statutory maximum allowed by law.
Adoption of this resolution, increasing the fee to $30.00 per day, is expected to increase
the estimated annual revenue to $1,902,960.00 and is necessary to offset a greater portion
of the actual cost.
BACKGROUND:
The Welfare and Institutions Code requires a father, mother, spouse, or other person
liable for the support of a minor to be responsible for the reasonable costs of support of
the minor while the minor is placed, or detained, pursuant to an order of the juvenile
court. (Welf. & Inst. Code section 903.) Welfare and Institutions Code section 903
requires Contra Costa County to limit “reasonable costs” to $30.00 per day.
In 2003, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 03/591, which established a
fee pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 903 for reimbursement of the
actual cost of care of a minor in detention at OAYRF and Juvenile Hall. The Resolution
authorized the Probation Department to collect $17.03 per day, per minor.
In 2009, the Legislature amended Section 903, increasing the maximum allowable fee to
$30.00 per day. The actual cost of care of minors at Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation
Facility increased to $31.69 per day and at Juvenile Hall, to $33.61 per day. The actual
cost of providing care exceeds the statutory maximum. As such, the Probation
Department must charge the statutory maximum in order to offset the actual cost as much
as possible.
The Probation Department’s fee survey was made available to the public at the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors at least ten (10) days before the hearing. Notice of the public
hearing was published on May 1, 2010.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to adopt Resolution No. 2010/253 will result in loss of funds to the Probation
Department. The Department will not be able to collect additional fees to offset the
increased costs of caring for a minor in detention at one of the County’s facilities.
