FISCAL IMPACT: $2,437,705 is projected for fiscal year 2011/2012, 100% funded through State Vehicle License Fee revenue. There are no match requirements for the award. BACKGROUND: The State of California, pursuant to the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA; Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000, Assembly Bill 1913) as signed into law by the Governor of the State of California on September 7, 2000, is estimating a statewide allocation for fiscal year 2011/2012 of $79,929,574 to enable local government units to develop and implement APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 05/10/2011 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Gayle B.

ATTESTED: May 10, 2011 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C.35 To:Board of Supervisors From:Philip F. Kader, County Probation Officer Date:May 10, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act Funding for FY 2011/2012 BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) a Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The legislation requires that this plan be developed by the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, 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 fiscal year 2011/2012 will allow Contra Costa County to preserve 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. As mentioned the estimated allocation for Contra Costa County for 2011/2012is $2,437,705, but this number would depend on the actual number of vehicles registered in the State of California during the year. Further, continued funding is an unresolved State issue dependent upon current tax extensions or other resolution. 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 purposed amount of funding set aside for community based treatment services in FY 10/11 was $20,725. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Absent this funding from the State of California, the County would suffer a reduction in deliquency prevention and supervison services previously available for juveniles in Contra Costa County.
