b. That each contract contain a condition that it is terminated without notice
should funds not be appropriated within the final 1990/91 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 general funds would be required.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECON ENDATIONS:
On April 20, 1990, the Subvention Program Advisory Group met and, in view of the
County budget situation, recommended continuation of existing programs at maintenance
levels as detailed on page 1.
The Subvention Program Advisory Group expressed its appreciation for the ability of
the various AB 90-funded projects to maintain a high level of service despite the
failure of the State over the years to apply a cost-of-living adjustment to this
program. The Advisory Group believes that the departments and agencies implementing
various programs have made a successful and sincere commitment to achieving project
objectives and have made special efforts to insure that levels of service within these
programs are maintained.
The certification of compliance through separate Board Resolution in recommendation 2
is required by the California Youth Authority by May 15, 1990.
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. The amount approved for the
Criminal Justice Agency includes $38,110 of County general funds, as budgeted within
Budget Unit 0325, which represents no increase over FY 1989-90.

This project is designed to provide the County Administrator's Office, Subvention

Planning Board with justice planning, coordination, evaluation and administrative
support services. It funds part of the CJA planning functions which include criminal
justice coordination and planning across jurisdictional and departmental lines; grant

Program administration) ; funding source development; short-term studies and planning
efforts (including update of the Adult Correctional Facilities Master Plan and

This regional diversion project operates in the City of Brentwood, the unincorporated
area of East County and the City of Antioch. The program emphasizes short-term family
and individual counseling for misdemeanor offenders and felons (many will be re-entry
juveniles leaving local correctional institutions) . Services will also be provided
for status offenders in East County.

juvenile court those who violate Federal or State laws or local ordinances other than

BYRON BOYS' RANCH
(Probation Department)
Subsidizes partial costs of Byron Boys' Ranch, an open, non-secure treatment
institution for delinquent boys committed by the Juvenile Court. Normal capacity is
64 beds with expansion to 74 beds when needed. Staffing consists of 1 superintendent,
4 supervisors, 1 Deputy Probation Officer, 11 counselors, and 6 support staff.
DETENTION FACILITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
(Health Services Department)
Provides mental health services at the Martinez Detention Facility to assist the
Sheriff in inmate control and preserving safety of staff and inmates. Mental Health
staff will screen all inmates expected to stay one week or more and those admitted
during nighttime hours. Treatment services will be provided to the mentally
disordered inmates in the medical module and to stabilized inmates in general living
units. Mental Health staff will respond to referrals to inmates by deputies and other
Detention Facility staff.
FRIENDS OUTSIDE
(Friends Outside, Inc. ) (Sheriff's Department)
Continues programs of Detention Facility visiting whereby volunteers interview inmates
and carry out their requests; services to inmates' families; and recruitment, training
and coordination of Detention Facility volunteers. Food and clothing for families of
prisoners is provided as needed through donations.
BATTERING ABATEMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
(Battered Women's Alternatives)
Provides treatment services to men who physically abuse their spouses. Clients will be
referred from law and justice agencies throughout the criminal justice process as well
as from sources outside the justice system (crisis line callers, support group
participants) . Priority will be given to offenders participating in domestic violence
diversion per Penal Code Section 1000.6.
ADULT PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION
(District Attorney's Office)
Implemented by the District Attorney, this countywide program diverts selected adult
misdemeanant offenders from the criminal justice system at the pre-trial,
post-complaint stage. Short-term (3 months-one year) diversion agreements with
individualized conditions (often community service and restitution) are carried out
with successful diversion resulting in dismissed charges. Such diversion also enables
judges and prosecutors to spend more time on serious cases.
