and the beds are available to other counties. Probation currently has nine minors in
placement at the facility. The contract is for the period January 1, 2011 through June 30,

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
This resource has expanded the Probation Department's options for difficult to place youth
at a rate well under the average group home placement rate. Failure to approve this contract
will result in placement of certain youth in more expensive facilities, reduce the number of
placement opportunities for the Juvenile Court, and require longer periods of detention at
Juvenile Hall.

If this action is not approved, the Probation Department will not be able to place wards at
the Bar-O Boys Ranch in Del Norte County during periods where a local placement option
is not available.
