SUBJECT: Juvenile Probation Funding Program .,
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 2005/764 authorizing the County Probation Officer to execute a contract with
the State of California Corrections Standards Authority in the amount of$5,186,504 for continuation
of the Juvenile Probation and Camps Funding Program for fiscal year 2045/06.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding for the Juvenile programs covered by this agreement is already included in the Probation
Department's budget. The agreement with the state maintains the budgeted funding. `
BACKGROUND:
From FY 1997/98 to FY 2003/04 the Contra Costa County Probation Department received an
allocation from the State of California's federal block grant for Temporary Ass-istance'to Needy
Families (TANF). Services to be supported-by the TANF funds were set out in the Comprehensive
Youth Services Act (CYSA). In its FY 2004/05 budget the state replaced the federal TANF funding for
these Probation services with state general funds. The claiming method for counties did not change
in FY 2004/05. However, for FY 2005/06 the state has formalized its own program, which is being
administered by the Corrections Standards Authority (formerly the Board of Corrections). The new
program requires counties to enter into an agreement with the state, submit invoices for the cost of
services, and to report the progress of the programs semi-annually.

The statewide funding consists of two parts, $168,713,000 of fixed allocations to counties for
programs that provide services prescribed in the CYSA, and $32,700,000 for the operation-of camps
and ranches. The services portion for Contra Costa County is fixed at $4,493,504. The camps and
ranches portion is variable based on the statewide distribution of occupied ed. beds. The Contra Costa
County share of the camps and ranches allocation is usually between $600,000 and $700,000', For
FY 2005/06 the combined allocation is budgeted at $5,186,504.
The JPCF funds will be used to support the following programs:
Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility $49035,324
Home Supervision and Juvenile Electronic Monitoring Program 755,185
Juvenile Community Service Program (Weekend Work) 3959995
$5,186,504
Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility houses 100 (602 W&I)wards committed by the Juvenile
Court. The program is based on the Rehabilitative Model and focuses on various rehabilitative,
educational, and vocational needs of the residents.
The Home Supervision Program is divided into two components: Home Detention and Juvenile
Electronic Monitoring,, Both programs provide intensive supervision in lieu of secure detention at
Juvenile Hatl. Juvenile Electronic Monitoring (JEM} is the more restrictive of the two programs.
All minors on the program are physically contacted, without prior notice, several times weekly at
home, at school, and at work. Telephone contact is made daily.
The Juvenile Community Service Program provides juvenile offenders the opportunity to repay the
offended community through uncompensated work, thereby accepting personal responsibility for
delinquent behavior. Young men and women are supervised in groups of seven to nine by specially
trained counselors. Staff members of public agencies that are served by the program provide
technical guidance to the minors,.
CONSEQUENCE OF,NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative or no action on this resolution would result in the loss of$5,186,504 of revenues that have
already been budgeted in the Probation Department. This would most likely result in the loss of the
juvenile probation programs described above.
