B) Opportunity West
C) National Council on Crime and Delinquency
D) University of California, Berkeley
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The amendment to the SafeFutures grant only extends the "first year" contract period
to September 30, 1997 with no increase in payment limits as previously approved by the
Board. (See below.)
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
On December 19, 1995 the Board of Supervisors accepted the SafeFutures grant from the
U.S. Department of justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP),
in the amount of $1,410,000 on behalf of the County. Programs funded through
SafeFutures include: afterschool programs at three elementary schools in Richmond; an
anti-gang initiative at two high schools and one middle school in Richmond; mentoring
programs for girls in Juvenile Hall and at-risk girls in the Iron Triangle area in Richmond;
the Summit Center, an intensive treatment program for adolescents in Juvenile Hall; a case
management position and a volunteer program to enhance juvenile Probation services.
The County was not authorized to draw down funds for these programs until May 15,
1996. Due to the delays in start-up and associated salary and other cost savings, the
County has sufficient funding still available to extend year I operation through September
30, 1997 at no additional cost.
The following contract payment limits previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on
December 19, 1995 will not be exceeded:
A) West Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau $342,085 (Contract #45797)
B) Opportunity West $336,000 (Contract #45811)
C) National Council on Crime and Delinquency $77,662 (Contract #45873
D) University of California, Berkeley $70,500 (Contract # 4603400)
On June 30, 1997 the County submitted an application to OJJDP for second year funding of
the SafeFutures project. OJJDP has responded to the County's second year application with
questions that require further clarification prior to funding being authorized. The County
has requested and received a no-cost extension of first year funding through September 30,
1997 in order to provide sufficient time to respond to these questions. Authorization of
second year funding is expected by the end of September and will allow t rogr ms to
continue through September 30, 1998.
