SUBJECT: Inter-County Placement Agreement - Del Norte County
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
That the County Probation Officer be authorized to enter into an
amended agreement with Del Norte County for the purpose of
reserving guaranteed accommodations for the placement of four ( 4)
delinquent wards of the Juvenile Court in Del Norte County' s Bar-0-
Boys Ranch at a monthly rate of $1,700. 00.
BACKGROUND
Del Norte County operates their boys ranch facility under the
provisions of §880 Welfare and Institutions Code. The camp has 42
beds which exceed their needs and they make beds available to other
counties under the provisions of §888 Welfare and Institutions
Code. §755 Welfare and Institutions Code allows the Juvenile Court
to permit a ward' s residence out of county under the supervision of
the probation officer of that county.
Authorization would supplement the existing agreement with Del
Norte County, which provides for the placement of wards in Bar-0-
Boys Ranch on a space-available basis, at a current monthly rate of
$1,850. 00 for each accommodation. Under the present agreement two
( 2) Contra Costa County wards have successfully completed the
program, four ( 4) are currently in placement there, and two ( 2)
others are detained at Juvenile Hall pending placement when
openings occur.
The Bar-O-Boys Ranch program has been a valuable resource hereto-
fore. The Probation Department anticipates that we will be able to
_keep four ( 4) beds occupied on an ongoing basis. Having reserved
accommodations will facilitate the placement of wards who are
appropriate for that program, resulting in shorter periods of
detention at Juvenile Hall pending delivery.

COST
The rate of payment charged by Del Norte County for reserved
accommodations is $1,700. 00 per ward. The rate per bed for
reserved space is $150/month less than the current rate paid.
Savings annually will be $7, 200. This can be compared to the
average monthly cost of group home care at approximately $3 ,700
(gross) and Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation cost of $2,000 .
THE AGREEMENT
The attached agreement language has been reviewed and approved by
County Counsel and the Presiding Juvenile Court Judge, Lois Haight.
