DATE:

SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: SB 2078 (Costa) EXPRESSING THE INTENT TO PLACE A
BOND MEASURE FOR JUVENILE FACILITIES ON THE BALLOT IN 1996
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT a position in SUPPORT of SB 2078 by Senator Jim Costa, which expresses
the Legislature's intent to place on the ballot in 1996 a general obligation bond
measure to provide funding for construction and remodeling of local facilities for the
treatment, rehabilitation, and punishment of juvenile offenders.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors has supported a continuum of care for juvenile offenders
so that each minor can be placed in the least restrictive and most appropriate level
of care. This includes the need to replace the existing juvenile hall facility. The
Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee has been authorized to seek funding
for the project, which will require a total investment of at least $50 million.
Senator Costa has introduced SB 2078. This measure may be amended to actually
become a bond measure for juvenile facilities. As introduced, it simply expresses
the Legislature's intent to place such a measure on the ballot in 1996. In view of the
investment the County has made already in seeking solutions to the problems of
juvenile offenders, it appears appropriate to indicate the Board's support for SB
2078, with the hope that the bill will be amended shortly to actually become a bond
measure.
