3 . Direct County Administrator's Office to notify each project that final
approval is contingent upon inclusion into the County' s Final Adopted
Budget for Fiscal Year 1994-95.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All the above-listed projects are integral to the continued operation of the
County Justice System Programs component of State Program Realignment. The
amounts reflect a continued maintenance of effort based upon approved FY
1993/94 amounts . All of these projects are built into the County
Administrator's proposed FY 1994/95 budget. All of the projects and
contracts will contain a special condition that permits the elimination or
reduction of the program in order to conform to the final adopted County
budget for FY 1994/95 . The Realignment Fund component of the Criminal
Justice Agency total is $20,001 .
REASONS FOR `RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
All of the above projects were designed to meet mandated and other vital
County Justice System goals . The District Attorney, Public Defender and
Probation Department (Home Supervision) projects all are State mandated
programs related to the prosecution, adjudication and supervision of
delinquent juveniles. The Boys' Ranch project funds approximately 25% of the
Boys' Ranch. The East County Youth and Family Services and the West Contra
Costa Youth Service Bureau both provide diversion projects to law enforcement
and school districts which assist in decreasing the referrals to Juvenile
Hall and Juvenile Court. The Friends Outside project provides services to
jail inmates which ultimately would have to be done by sworn officers and
which help the Sheriff' s Department to manage the inmate population.
Attachment 1 provides a brief summary of each project. All of the projects
are designed to provide an integrated approach to justice system processing
of various types of cases, particularly juvenile cases, or to provide the
system with services that ultimately would have to be provided at an
increased County cost.
Five of these projects will require 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 . Each contract will have a termination clause that permits
the County to eliminate or adjust the contract as dictated by the adopted FY
1994/95 County Budget and the status of State Program Realignment funds .
