ATTESTED: May 18, 2010 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Katherine Sinclair, Deputy cc: C.38 To:Board of Supervisors From:Lionel D. Chatman, County Probation Officer Date:May 18, 2010 Contra Costa County Subject:FY 2010/11 Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act Funding BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) by the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (Council), chaired by the County Probation Officer. The Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan developed by the Council must be approved by the County Board of Supervisors. JJCPA funding for fiscal year 2010/2011 will allow Contra Costa County to continue funding for most of the important children’s services that were established during the initial year of the grant. The source of funding for the program will continue to be derived from state vehicle license fees which will be allocated quarterly. The estimated allocation for Contra Costa County for 2010/2011 is $2,640,289, but this allocation is dependent on the actual number of vehicles registered in the State of California during the fiscal year. The following summarizes the programs proposed for continued funding under JJCPA: 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 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 youth, 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 180 days after their graduation from the OAYRF program. IV. Fee for Service Funding The proposed amount of funding set aside for community based treatment services in FY 10/11 is $83,000.
