Subject:Inter-County Placement Agreement County of Del Norte Bar-O Boys Ranch
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
operates the Bar-O boys Ranch under the provisions of Article 24 of the Welfare and Institutions code of the State of
California. The camp has 42 beds that exceed their needs and the beds are available to other counties. Probation
currently has eight minors in placement at the facility. The contract is for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30,
2013, with the option of renewing for an additional year, up to a maximum of two additional years.
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 opportunities for the Juvenile Court, and require longer periods
of detention at Juvenile Hall.
