The Committee has been meeting regularly and has made periodic status reports to the Internal Operations Committee. Committee members developed a profile of youth in custody and determined an ideal placement or setting for each youth, developed population projections and assumptions, assessed the physical capabilities of the current Juvenile Hall and compared the operations of the Hall with other juvenile halls in California, and hired a programming consultant to develop a program for a new and/or remodeled juvenile hall . The County Administrator obtained a small technical assistance grant from the National Institute of Justice to provide guidance to the committee in assessing current policies and procedures related to Probation' s current risk assessment process and design and implementation of community alternatives to detention. The Board of Supervisors expanded the role of the Advisory Committee (April 12, 1993) to include defining a philosophical framework to guide juvenile justice in Contra Costa County and consider ways in which Probation services can be integrated with all other human services at the County level . The Committee held a conference with assistance from the County Office of Education and developed a vision statement for the juvenile justice system which the Board referred to the Services Integration Project (January 11, 1994) . Also on January 11, 1994, the Board of Supervisors endorsed the Committee's report, dated December 13, 1993 . The report contained a description of the need for locked and unlocked detention and treatment beds and non-institutional community-based programs . This description is referred to as the Recommended Continuum of Care for Current Population of Juveniles Under Supervision. The Board renamed the Committee the Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Internal Operations Committee Page 2 June 22, 1994 Committee and authorized the continuation of the Committee until December 31, 1995. The report is serving as the working plan for the Committee for the next two years . The Board has requested status reports from the Committee at six month intervals . Since January 1994, the Advisory Committee has met with the programmer in four two-day workshops . These workshops have covered topics including: programs and services, facility occupants and users, circulation, security, staffing, site developmentcriteria, design objectives, space requirements, space relationships, ambient environment, furnishing criteria, equipment and systems . The programmer has also met with representatives of the Juvenile court, the District Attorney, the Public Defender, Probation, and General Services . The programming sub-committee includes representatives from Juvenile Hall staff. As part of the work, a field trip was taken by these staff members and the programmer to demonstrate different architectural variations and detail solutions to problems discussed during many of the interviews and architectural programming sessions . The group visited four facilities in Colorado and Washington over a two-day period. The visits will assist the programming effort to reach decisions on housing unit layout, intake and release, visitation, recreation space, food service, education and mental health and medical programs and space. The Advisory Committee also established a special sub-committee to assess needs in the_ west and east areas of the County. The Committee studied population growth patterns and juvenile arrest patterns and interviewed local law enforcement and community representatives . The sub-committee members developed a concept, endorsed by the entire Advisory Committee, for intake, detention, and assessment and referral in the central, east and west areas of the County. The Alternatives to Detention sub-committee is continuing to estimate costs for the programs recommended in the continuum of care and is assigning priorities to program implementation. Committee members are working on a proposal for implementing an electronic monitoring program for juveniles in conjunction with the , current adult program operated by the .Sheriff's Department. The Advisory Committee requests a date in September 1994 to present a detailed report and recommendations to the, Internal Operations Committee regarding the above described work. The programming document will be presented to the Advisory Committee in July 1994 and the committee members need time to review the document. The continuum of care cost report and the regional facilities concept paper will also be available. We anticipate that presentation and discussion of the report at one of your September meetings will take at least one hour.
