Inasmuch as the gas, electric and water services for 100
Glacier Drive are on the same meter with other County
facilities on the Juvenile Hall grounds, the lessee was to
reimburse the County for its prorata share of these
expenses, $3,025 per month plus $125 for each child over
a base census of 25 . Since May, 1992, the County has only
received $4 ,500 reimbursement.
In attempts to remedy this situation, staff from the County
Administrator' s Office, Social Service, General Services,
and County Counsel have met with representatives of the
Glacier Drive Juvenile Facility and Health Care Delivery
Services, Inc. (HCDS) which operates the Lion' s Gate
program under the terms of a sublease with Glacier Drive
Juvenile Facility. HCDS maintains it is unable to meet its
lease payments and utility reimbursement due to the
continuing low number of children placed at Lion' s Gate.
HCDS agreed to intensify its efforts to increase placements
from other counties . Both County and HCDS representatives
explored the potential of another program occupying a wing
of the, facility. However, no compatible program could be
identified and there is no funding for any new programs .
Despite these efforts, there has been no change in the non-
payment of rent and no indication this situation will
change. The Social Service Department has been advised to
plan for alternative arrangements for placement of Contra
Costa children in the event the lease is terminated. The
County cannot continue to subsidize this program. It is
therefore recommended for authorization for action to be
taken to enforce the terms of the lease.
