SUBJECT: Inter-County Placement Agreements -Del Norte County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
That the County Probation Officer be authorized to enter into two (2) agreements
with Del Norte County. One agreement is for the purpose of reserving
accommodations for the placement of two (2) delinquent wards of the Juvenile
Court in Del Norte County's Bar-0 Boys Ranch at a monthly rate of$1,700.00 per
reservation. The second agreement would permit the placement of additional
delinquent wards from Contra Costa County at Bar-O Boys Ranch, if Contra Costa
County needed the resource and if space were available at the Del Norte County
facility. The monthly rate for space available placements is $1,850.00 per month per
ward.
BACKGROUND
Del Norte County operates their boys ranch under the provisions of Section 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 Section 888,
Welfare and Institutions Code. Section 755, Welfare and Institutions Code, allows
the Juvenile Court to permit a ward's placement out of county under the supervision
of the Probation Officer of that county.
Contra Costa County has had agreements with Del Norte for such placements since
1994. Several minors not suitable for placement at the Orin Allen Youth
Rehabilitation Facility have successfully completed programs at Bar-0 Boys Ranch
and the county currently has two minors in placement there. This resource has
expanded the Probation Department's options for difficult to place youth, and having
reserved accommodations at Bar-0 facilitates the placement process, resulting in
shorter periods of detention at Juvenile Hall pending delive
