crimes do not warrant a commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Currently there

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
This resource has expanded the Probation Department's options for difficult to place youth
at a rate 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 options 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 Fouts Springs Youth Facility in Solano County during periods where a local placement
option is not available.
