That each contract contain a condition that it is terminated without notice should funds not be appropriated within the final 1987/88 County budget. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Subvention funds support projects that are integral to operation of the County's justice system.. Some are mandated. Without this support, a greater investment of County funds would be required. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: This Office has reviewed the Report of the County Justice System Subvention Program Advisory Group, dated April 20, 1987, detailing its recommendations to your Board for 1987/88 funding. We support the decision of the Advisory Group to consider only continuing projects for 1987/88 funding and we believe that the projects submitted for approval are effective projects worthy of continued funding. We support the recommendations of the Advisory Group. The certification of compliance through separate Board Resolution in recommendation 2 is required by the California Youth Authority by May 15, 1987. We recommend approval at this time. Four approved projects will require a continuation of existing contracts with the County. All of these projects are continuing projects. So that there will be no break in services July 1, I am recommending that the Board of Supervisors, as it did last year, authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute on behalf of the County those contracts for the above-listed projects. Please note that the amount approved for the Criminal Justice Agency includes $38,110 of County general funds, as budgeted within Budget Unit 0325. CONTRA CO STA COUNTY Staff JUSTICE SYSTEM SUBVENTION PROGRAM George Roemer Executive Director ADVISORY GROUP CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCY OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY CECIL HEDEN, Chairperson County Administration Bldg. SUZANNE RICKARD, Vice Chairperson 8th Floor Martinez, CA 94553 (415) 372-4855 April 20, 1987 Board of Supervisors Contra Costa County Administration Building Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Board Members: 1987/88 Recommendations of the Contra Costa County Justice System Subvention Program Advisory Group The County Justice System Subvention Program Advisory Group has completed its deliberations for the 1987/88 fiscal year and is making this Report, which includes funding recommendations, to your Board. Based upon the Governor's proposed 1987/88 State budget, Contra Costa County's allocation for fiscal year 1987/88 would be $1,751,737, which is a decrease of $11,645 from the $1,763,382 for fiscal year 1986/87. The County's application must be received by the California Youth Authority no later than May 15. At its April 9 meeting, the Advisory Group decided to limit 1987/88 funding to continuing projects at the current year level, with a pro rata downward adjustment in each project to reflect anticipated State funding. This decision was based on the Advisory Group's judgment that currently-approved projects had been developed consistent with the Advisory Group's needs assessment, and continue to meet County justice System needs within tightly drawn budgets. The Advisory Group believes that these projects provide a large amount of service to their clients, with minimal budgets. The Advisory Group has reviewed the progress of each project. In addition, the Advisory Group held a public hearing as required by law. The Advisory Group took the following action with respect to 1987/88 funding: Recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Advisory Group's project funding recommendations as detailed in Attachment 1 and approve the 1987/88 Subvention Program in the amount of $1,751,737. See Attachment 2 for a summary of the continuing projects. This action is subject to the Conditions of Approval detailed in Attachment 3. Board of Supervisors 2 April 20, 1987 Please note that the 1987/88 County allocation is tentative at this time and contingent upon the State's adoption of the 1987/88 budget. If this allocation changes, the Advisory Group will review its actions and submit revised recommendations to your Board. In addition, the Advisory Group discussed the inability of the Subvention Program under current maintenance of service level restrictions to fund any new programs, particularly those operated in the area of delinquency prevention by private, non-profit agencies. The Advisory Group understands that existing funds are not sufficient to provide for this. If Contra Costa County's 1987/88 allocation increases as a result of the State budget process, the Advisory Group intends to consider the use of those additional funds for delinquency prevention purposes. If this occurs, the Advisory Group may be making additional recommendations to your Board at a later date. The Advisory Group is interested in whatever comments your Board may have on the above actions and recommendation. We believe that the projects submitted for approval continue to meet pressing County justice system needs and have demonstrated both program and cost effectiveness. Respectfully submitted, C?
